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.

This book has some great stories for teaching non-fiction. The only drawback is it has no questions. It does give teaching suggestions and has great transparencies. Worth buying.

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.

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??
