Nonfiction in Focus
Children's literature experts Janice Kristo and Rosemary Bamford, show teachers how to choose nonfiction wisely and teach it wisely. They provide a framework for weaving nonfiction across the language arts block, beginning with practices that require heavy support of students (such as instructional read aloud and modeled writing) and moving toward ones that don't (such as independent inquiry workshop). The result? Students become confident, capable readers and writers of the genre. 304 pages.
