Informational writing shares facts and details about a specific topic. This type of writing helps readers learn new information. For example, a report about dolphins might include where they live, what they eat, and interesting facts about their behavior. Writers use clear language and often break the information into sections with headings. This makes it easier for readers to find what they are looking for. Informational writing can also include diagrams or pictures to help explain the content better.
