Informational writing shares facts and details about a specific topic. It helps readers learn something new by explaining ideas clearly. For example, if you write about how bees make honey, you would include steps like gathering nectar and bringing it back to the hive. This kind of writing is often used in books, articles, and reports to give important information in an easy-to-understand way.
