Nonfiction In Focus
With this book, Janice Kristo and Rosemary Bamford show you not only how to choose nonfiction wisely, but how to teach it wisely. They provide a theoretically solid framework for weaving nonfiction across a comprehensive literacy program, beginning with approaches that require heavy student support -- such as instructional read aloud and modeled writing -- and moving toward approaches that don't -- such as discovery circles and readers' and writers' workshops. The result? Students become confident, capable readers and writers of nonfiction. Brimming with the words, work, and wisdom of real classroom teachers, this is a timely and practical resource.

Fantastic Source for Choosing and Using Nonfiction
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I have these authors' earlier books on selecting nonfiction, which are terrific. But this one is better because it not only gives guidelines for making wise choices, but also offers lots of good, practical ideas for using your choices to teach reading, writing, and content-area subjects. The ideas can be used in whole-class, small-group, and one-on-one instruction. Plus, there's a clear opening section on the underlying principles behind the ideas. These authors know what they're talking about--and clearly have spent time in classrooms.
