We took advantage of the beautiful weather today to take our non-fiction books outside! These readers have been practicing with non-fiction books to learn and share new facts with friends. They have learned the different text features: headings, table of contents, captions, diagrams… and have learned how to “prove” what they learned by showing a friend where they found the information. We practice skimming and scanning today. The kids learned how to look for certain things on a page before they read it to give them a better idea about the information they would be reading.
