What is a Reason We Read Non-Fiction?
This morning, during Reader’s Workshop, we had a great conversation about non-fiction. I asked the kids: “Why do we read non-fiction?” Instantly hands went up and here are some of the answers they shared:
“We read non-fiction to learn new things.”
“We read non-fiction to explore ideas that we don’t know about!”
“To grow as readers.”
“To gather new ideas!”
We read a book about clouds. Together we learned that clouds that are thin and wispy show the weather will be good. At the end as we shared more things we learned Raki said, “Mrs. Clark, I learned that you can’t walk on clouds! They are made of gas and you would fall through them!”
