Non Fiction Genre Layouts

This resource provides clear, visual layout examples to support pupils in understanding the structure of three key non-fiction genres: discussion texts, newspaper reports and information reports.

Each template uses colour-coded blocks and a choice on whether to have labelled sections to show children how to organise their writing effectively on the page. The layouts break down each genre into its key structural features, helping pupils see what could go where before they begin writing.

The discussion text template supports balanced argument writing, the newspaper report layout highlights key journalistic features such as headlines and paragraphs and the information report model demonstrates how to group facts under subheadings.

This resource works well as a writing scaffold, classroom display, or reference tool during independent writing. It helps pupils build confidence in structuring their ideas and improves overall organisation and presentation in non-fiction writing tasks.
