📝 Informational Report Writer
Plan, organize, and write a strong informational report — step by step.
An informational report teaches your reader about a real topic using facts. You are the expert — your job is to explain and inform, not to tell a story or share your opinion.
Choose Your Topic
Pick something you're genuinely curious about — curiosity makes research easier and more fun! Make sure it's focused enough to cover in one report. "Animals" is too broad; "How Wolves Hunt in Packs" is just right.
Research and Take Notes
Use at least two reliable sources — books, encyclopedias, or trusted websites (.gov, .edu). As you read, write facts down in your OWN words. Always record where each fact came from so you can go back to it.
Plan Your Outline
Before you write, group your notes by topic. Each group becomes a body paragraph. Use the Outline Builder tab above to map out your intro, body, and conclusion before you start drafting.
Write Your Draft
Start with an introduction that hooks the reader and ends with your main idea. Write one focused paragraph per topic, each with a topic sentence and 2–3 supporting details. Close with a strong conclusion.
Revise, Edit, and Proofread
Read your report out loud — your ear catches things your eyes miss. Check for spelling, punctuation, and clarity. Use the Revision Checklist tab to make sure nothing is missing before you turn it in.
Key words to use in your report: First, Next, In addition, Also, For example, As a result, In conclusion, Most importantly. These transition words connect your ideas and make your writing flow!
