This is an excellent way to prepare students for state assessment questions. Students are exposed to the vocabulary and questions types that they need to become familiar with especially when reading non-fiction. Our staff and students used the articles regularly and find it to be very beneficial.
Perfect Resource

I thought I'd died and gone to heaven when I found this resource for teaching informational/nonfiction selections to my 6th graders. It covers everything I am required by the state to teach: reading tools/strategies, text organization, graphic aids, various type of articles/selections, etc. A huge plus is the color transparencies that come with it and accompany the different selections. This is one of the best resources I've come across. I can teach the whole unit just using this one source. How often can a teacher say that??
Not an easy task

Alice Boynton's lessons are very sensible and any teacher shouldn't have problems with her suggestions. It might also be useful for a parent, like me, who has an elementary school kid and who's trying to get her to do more than read manga and watch anime. Boynton's tips attempt to capture the student's attention span and force her/him to invst some intellectual effort. To payoff in learning from an entire world of these non-fiction books.
A great resource!

I am using this book in an 8th grade content area reading course. It has the complete explanations of nonfiction reading, the text features, text structures, modeling examples, questions to ask after their reading, and organizers. It helps you to explain the rationale of all these different types of text. A Must for reading teachers!
