About This Worksheet
Science fiction is about imagining the future, and young children love robots and spaceships. The pack uses that interest to practise early skills, and starts with a simple idea: some stories are made up (fiction) and some are true (nonfiction).
Children sort fiction and nonfiction words, trace space letters, colour a space scene, solve a sci-fi word search and maze, spot robot differences, cut and paste their own planet, count and colour space objects, find the odd one out and spot same or different.
