Hi Lauren, My kids love reading non fiction! This year we started non fiction Tuesdays. Everyone was supposed to spend time reading non fiction books on topics of their choice. Afterwards, we shared interesting information that we learned. After a while I decided to frame their responses in a non fiction paragraph format for sharing. They continue to read non fiction, especially the boys. Elisa

They must be felt within the heart. —Helen Keller Visit my blog, A Teacher's Ruminations, and post a message. http://waingortgrade2spanishbilingual.blogspot.com/ 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! Lauren
