Volume 2, Edition 14 – Diversifying Types of Non-Fiction Texts

Welcome to this week’s edition of Best Practices Weekly. Today we’ll be discussing best practices for diversifying the types of non-fiction text used in your classroom.

In elementary grades, the majority of non-fiction or informational text is done through read-alouds. In an article for The Reading Teacher, two California State University – Fullerton professors discuss a study of the amount and types of non-fiction text that are used during read-alouds and suggest ways to maximize that genre.
