During our study on the oceans, we have been learning to distinguish between fiction and nonfiction texts. The students are getting very good at not only telling you if a book is fiction or nonfiction but also showing you evidence to support their thinking. In the pictures below, students are sorting books into fiction and nonfiction and explaining their thinking to their group members.
When you are reading at home, ask your child if the books are fiction or nonfiction and listen to their reasoning skills. In our fiction vs nonfiction discussions, we have also been defining different features of nonfiction text like labels, photographs, captions, index, table of contents, close-ups, bold words, and headings. Has your child been discovering any of these important features of nonfiction?
