It's been a great two weeks learning the differences between fiction and nonfiction texts. The kids are immersing themselves with a variety of nonfiction texts. Together we are learning the features of nonfiction books. This week some of our lessons during readers workshop have helped the kids to understand the difference between a storyteller voice for fiction and reading with a teaching voice for informational books. The kids have started using the iPads to record their voices to help practice their 'teaching' voice!
It's been wonderful to watch the kids begin using these features in their informational books they are writing. The kids are adding table of contents, headings, bold text, and labels to their illustrations. Some of our informational books are about soccer, hockey, being a hairstylist, swimming, puppies, cats, penguins, helicopters, taking care of a baby, American girl dolls, and so much more! We look forward to continuing our stories next week as we continue to build a stronger understanding of informational books.
