"Carrie, When I first looked at this program, I was disappointed by the lack of non fiction. Do you use this exclusively as your explicit instruction? Or do you allow / encourage additional units of study?
Thanks, Carol" To Carol - and others: Making Meaning has tons of non-fiction! I double checked this with two of my teachers - one in 2nd and one in 4th - and they both concurred. Second grade has lots of fun NF - like a book about bubbles. The 4th grade teacher says her kit has approximately 1/3 NF. Out of 27 titles there are 9 NF. Her words: "I think Making Meaning does a great job of providing read alouds reflective of a variety of genres, especially NF." I have also looked through the 7th and 8th grade kits and they have lots and lots of poetry. Hope this helps!
