When I taught second grade I found that the children LOVED nonfiction. Joy/NC/4 How children learn is as important as what they learn: process and content go hand in hand. http://www.responsiveclassroom.org

NonFiction To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, June 18, 2009, 11:08 AM After reading Chapter 10 (Determining Importance in NonFiction) in Debbie Miller's RWM. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for great nonfiction books to really catch the children's attention. Specifically nonfiction books geared toward a first or second grade. How do you begin your non-fiction lessons and do you find the kids are engaged, or do they just want to jump right back into fiction? Thanks in advance for the suggestions!
