Nonfiction Text & Graphic Features
.JPG)
I love reading nonfiction and I love teaching it! It's all about facts, pictures and learning something new. Let's face it, in real life and in adulthood we read nonfiction most of the time. It's no wonder the new state assessment in Texas, STAAR has put a major emphasis on nonfiction text. Which ones do you read the most?
Be sure to HOOK your students with a connection between nonfiction text and real life application, it creates buy-in. I have to admit, Hooks are my favorite part of any lesson cycle! Last year, I began with a class graph so students could visually see what types of nonfiction they already read. If you have technology available, you could set up an online poll.
- Textbooks with facts and strategies
- Invitations
- Directions or Maps
- Magazine Articles
- Newsletters
- Procedural Text, such as recipes

Deniece...I just did procedural texts with my kids this week and couldn't find an organizer for their interactive notebooks. Go to my store...I shared it as a freebie. I think it ties right in with your materials! I will add this to my files and really appreciate the freebie!

Thanks ladies.
Carla, I ADORE procedural text. I did a blog post last year and had my eval on it last year. I love that it usually includes food:)
This is a great unit- can't wait to use with my Firsties. Thanks for sharing:-)
