Once upon a time, nonfiction books for children routinely included concise, stodgy writing. Most of the books were text heavy, with just a few scattered images decorating, rather than enhancing, the content and meaning. But nonfiction has changed dramatically over the last two decades, evolving into a new breed of visually dynamic, engaging texts that delight as well as inform. The timing of these groundbreaking changes couldn�t be better, as English Language Arts standards now put an increased focus on nonfiction reading and writing.� For decades, we�ve classified fiction as a way to study, understand, and, ultimately, teach it better. However, up to now, nonfiction hasn�t received this same level of intention. In 5 Kinds of Nonfiction: Enriching Reading and Writing Instruction with Children�s Books, Melissa Stewart and Marlene Correia present a new way to sort nonfiction into five major categories and show how doing so can help teachers and librarians build stronger readers and writers. Along the way, they:introduce the 5 kinds of nonfiction�active, browseable, traditional, expository literature, and narrative�and explore each category through discussions, classroom examples, and insights from leading children�s book authors�offer tips for building strong, diverse classroom and library collectionsprovide more than 20 activities to enhance literacy instruction andinclude innovative strategies for sharing and celebrating nonfiction with students.�With more than 150 exemplary nonfiction book recommendations and Stewart and Correia�s extensive knowledge of literacy instruction, 5 Kinds of Nonfiction will elevate your understanding of nonfiction in ways that speak specifically to the info-kids in your classrooms, but will inspire all readers and writers.
