Meet Wiggles
Hi friend! Meet Wiggles the bookworm. Wiggles helps at the library. There are two kinds of books to sort. Story books and information books. Let's help Wiggles!
Wiggles sorts
Wiggles sorts some lines. Bo the bear lost his hat. Help, said the little owl. Those are stories! A made-up character does something, or talks. Many bears sleep all winter. Owls hunt at night. Those are real facts!
Let's sort two frog texts
Look at the frog picture. Text one. Fred the frog hopped to see his friend. Let's play, he said. Fred has a name and he talks. A story! Text two. Frogs are green. They live near water and eat bugs. Real facts. Information!
