The book you are about to read is destined to be the first, middle, and maybe even the last word on nonfiction writing for young, young children. It is certainly a text that you will return to over and over again as you do with a beloved cookbook.
--from the Foreword by Tomie dePaola
Nonfiction inspires enthusiasm in young children because they can choose topics that are of interest to them personally. Is That a Fact? explores a variety of authentic purposes for writing nonfiction, such as describing, explaining, instructing, persuading, retelling, and exploring relationships with others. You will learn how to introduce each purpose using a variety of forms, including letters, reports, poetry, captions, directions, and interviews.
Part One provides a complete overview of teaching nonfiction writing in the primary grades and includes:
practical ways for organizing nonfiction resources within the classroomPart Two provides five different explorations that were implemented in actual K-3 classrooms. Each focuses on a specific purpose for writing nonfiction and features: examples of whole-class, small-group, and independent instructional engagements
a comprehensive assessment rubric that will help teachers tailor instruction to the needs of all learners
an extensive resource section that includes lists of books in the exploration, grouped by readability levels
answers to the most commonly asked questions about teaching nonfiction writing.
The appendixes include a self-assessment questionnaire, reproducible pages for exploring specific writing forms, and letters to parents.
Children need to be introduced to the different purposes of nonfiction writing. They need to know how to plan, compose, revise, and publish nonfiction beyond narrative. Is That a Fact? guides you in achieving these goals with your students.
