Facts vs. Make-Believe
A fact is something that is true and can be checked. Make-believe is something that is invented or imaginary. Stories can be fun, but it is important to know the difference between a story and real information.
Fact:Something that is true and can be proven or checked.
Fiction:A story that is made up and not real.
How Can You Tell?
- Ask: "Could this really happen?"
- Ask: "Has someone proved this is true?"
- Look for pictures or videos that show it is real
- Ask a trusted adult or check a reliable book
Slow Down!
When you read or hear something surprising, slow down and ask: "Is this a fact or a story?" It is okay to say "I'm not sure — let me check!"
Sometimes people share things that are not true by accident. They might have read something wrong or misunderstood. That is why checking information is so important.
