Nonfiction Text Features

 Students in 1S are learning to read non-fiction.  We are learning about many of the special features in nonfiction text. 

Students are learning about text features like Table of Contents, Headings, Captions, Photographs, Labels, Index, Glossary, and Close-Ups.   

Students learned a great deal when completing a scavenger hunt of non-fiction text features. 

All of this learning in Reader's Workshop will help us as we begin to write non-fiction text.  We have started writing Non-Fiction How To Stories, and we will soon move on to All About Books during Writer's Workshop.  These are both fun and informative reading and writing units in first grade!
