About Stating an Opinion
What this skill is
Stating an opinion involves clearly declaring a personal viewpoint, preference, or belief on a topic (using phrases like "In my opinion" or "I believe") rather than stating a verifiable fact.
When children learn it
Writing opinion pieces stating a topic and opinion begins in kindergarten and 1st grade (CCSS K.W.1, 1.W.1).
Teaching Tips
- Play "Fact or Opinion": say statements like "Apples grow on trees" (Fact) and "Apples are the tastiest fruit" (Opinion). Let your child jump up when they hear an opinion. Practice starting opinion sentences with "I believe that...".
Common Mistakes
- Confusing facts (provable truths) with opinions (personal feelings or beliefs).
- Stating an opinion as a fact without signal phrases.
- Hedging with weak, indecisive language ("Maybe it is okay I think").
