Non-Fiction Features



Dear Comets,

We have been learning so much in this Non-Fiction units.  One of the important things we learn is that Good Readers use the Non-Fiction features to learn new information.

As you are reading the non-fiction texts on a planet or an animal of your choice, please share with us an interesting fact.  Let us know how you learn that information!  Visual or Text feature?  What type of Visual or what type of Text feature?

Happy Reading,
Mrs. Nguyen
