Teacher Implementation Guide Non-Fiction Books
Best Practices
Non-Fiction Books provide students with a way to engage with digit and experience the joy of learning through reading. These books can be read aloud whole class or assigned for independent practice. Pair a text with a unit you are teaching in class or allow students to learn about something or someone completely new! Each book can be used to annotate, identify new vocabulary, reference text features, and more! Books on Seesaw unlock endless possibilities of how reading can come to life.
Instructional Format: The Read activities allow teachers or students to walk through the non-fiction book at their own pace. Teachers can ask students to utilize the different text features and creative tools to deepen their reading experience.
Suggested Extension: Linked in the lesson plan teachers can find Checks For Understanding lessons to assess comprehension, allow for reflection, or capture important information. Some options include:
3-2-1: Students can use this exit ticket to write three things they learned, two interesting facts, and one question.
Make A Connection: Students can use this reflection chart to connect previous learning and experiences to their current reading to make a connection.
Vocabulary Word: Students can use this anchor chart to expand their vocabulary and ensure comprehension of new words.
