I am excited to say we are officially kicking off our Navigating Non-Fiction unit of study in Reader's Workshop! During this unit, we will learn reading strategies that focus specifically on comprehension of non-fiction texts. This unit of study will focus on coding non-fiction texts for main ideas(s) details (VIP's), disconnected details, and questions the reader has while reading. In addition to coding, we will also focus on text features, navigating electronic tools/websites, and noticing how/why the author wrote in a specific sequence. We will be busy from now until Winter Vacation navigating our way through the wonderful, real-world of non-fiction! Our unit kicked off today with a non-fiction picture book, Antarctica. All week, we will continue to read books on the topic of Antarctica...which will connect nicely to our next Science unit, Habitats.
