The National Geographic monthly magazines are wonderful. There are at an upper elem. reading level for sure and have all the conventions of nonfiction!
Really Good Stuff has great sets of nonfiction but these books don't have many of the conventions. They are high interest topics and my second graders love them. Of course any of the Rookie Read About books by Alan Fowler are great knowledge fillers!
