Nonfiction and Information Books:What’s the Difference?
NonfictionNonfiction Information BooksInformation BooksNonfiction includes
any text that contains factual information!!
Information books are a very specific type of nonfiction text. Information books: Convey factual information
about the physical world and human societies.
Present information focused on a clear topic or class of things and has a “timeless” quality – butterflies, clouds, reptiles.
Present information using a variety of physical features and formats, e.g. CD, internet links, photos, diagrams, inserts, footnotes, etc.
Convey facts using a variety of text organizations, e.g., compare/contrast, question-answer, description, list, etc.
Why different genres?Why different genres?Genre researchers hypothesize that various
genres were developed to fill very specific purposes in the real world, i.e. folk tales, fairy tales, almanacs, advertisements, newspapers, TV guides, business letters, memos, reports, lab notes, etc.
Researchers have shown that texts have a multitude of different features, formats, word choices, that affect students’ reading ability.
Even young children are sensitive to the differences among genres but may not be familiar with how to navigate different text genres effectively or efficiently chiefly because the receive far less exposure at home and school to some genres than others.
Why teach withWhy teach withinformation books?information books?
In a set of studies about teaching reading with information texts in first grades, Nell Duke (2000) described experiences offered to children in 20 first-grade classrooms selected from very low and very high socio-economic-status school districts. She found a scarcity of informational texts in these classrooms (particularly the low socio-economic status schools). There were relatively few informational texts included in classroom libraries and on classroom walls and other surfaces. The most startling finding was children in low socioeconomic classrooms had access to and read in information trade books about –
3.6 minutes per day on average. Duke, N. K. (2000). For the rich it’s richer: print experiences and environments offered to children in very low- and very high-
socioeconomic status first-grade classrooms. American Educational Research Journal, 37, 441-478.Duke, N. K. (2000). 3.6 minutes per day: The scarcity of informational texts in first grade. Reading Research Quarterly, 35(2), 202-224.
Why teach withWhy teach withInformation Books?Information Books?
• 86% of the texts read by adults are information texts• 50–85% of test items used to test reading comprehension of children are informational.• The acquisition of comprehension strategies is thought to be “genre specific.” In other words, comprehension strategies are learned within the confines of a particular genre or text type. Thus young children require specificinstruction with informational texts to assure transfer and generalization of comprehension skills andstrategies.Calkins, L. M., Montgomery, K., Santman, D., & Falk, B. (1998). A teacher’s guide to standardized reading tests: Knowledgeis power. Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann.Duke, N. K. (2000). 3.6 min per day: The scarcity of informational texts in first grade. Reading Research Quarterly, 35(2),202–224.Duke, N. K., Bennett-Armistead, S., & Roberts, E. M. (2002).

So why aren’t teachers using So why aren’t teachers using information books?: Mythsinformation books?: Myths
1. Young children cannot handle informational text. Children learn content as well as language from information texts!
2. Young children do not like informational text or at least prefer other forms of text. Studies show young children prefer informational texts!
3. Young children should first learn to read and then (around fourth grade) read to learn. This is a false dichotomy as we explain in the next slide!
Duke, N. K. (2000). 3.6 minutes per day: The scarcity of informational texts in first grade. Reading Research Quarterly, 35(2), 202-224.
Myth 1: Too Difficult Myth 1: Too Difficult Research by Kamil & Lane (1997, a, b) showed
that first-grade students who were taught to read with information texts made “normal or above-average progress” and that “it is not only possible but desirable to teach students at the first-grade level about information text genres, features, and uses. Kamil, M. L., & Lane, D. (1997). A classroom study of the efficacy of using information text for first-grade reading instruction. Paper presented at AERA, Chicago, IL.Kamil, M.L. & Lane, D. (1997). Using information text for first-grade reading instruction: Theory and practice.
Myth 2 : Kids Don’t PreferMyth 2 : Kids Don’t PreferK. Mohr (2002) researched the book preferences
of 190 first-grade children in north Texas. They were given seven picture books to choose from: narrative, information, poetry, Spanish, Hispanic Characters, English, & English Characters. Over 84% of ALLALL children chose one book to keep (which they indeed received to keep). It was an information book in English – Animals Nobody Loves. Mohr commented, young children seem to see books as “windows to their world rather than as mirrors of themselves.”
Mohr, K. A. J. (2003). “I want this book!: First-graders rationales for preferring expository texts.” Reading Psychology: An International Quarterly, 24(2), 163-176.
Myth 3: Read to Learn Later OnMyth 3: Read to Learn Later OnToday in the U.S., economic differences between the haves and have-nots are greater than at any other time in history since 1929…Teachers must ensure that children develop factual knowledge that has coherence and depth. All of our children, rich and poor and in between, deserve no less” (pp. 470-70). Neuman, S. B. (2001). The role of knowledge in early literacy. Reading Research Quarterly 36 (4), 468-475.

Vocabulary
Guided Reading ofGuided Reading ofInformation TextsInformation Texts
Vocabulary Vocabulary Is there a set of vocabulary words elementary students should learn?
Children learn about 1000 (conservative) to 3000 (liberal) words per year (Stahl & Nagy, 2006). Most scholars agree with an estimate of 2000 – 3000 words learned per year.
Guided Reading ofGuided Reading ofInformation TextsInformation Texts
Vocabulary Vocabulary Is there a set of vocabulary words elementary
students should have?Beck, McKeown, & Kucan (2002) do not believe
in teaching Tier I words (high frequency). This recommendation clearly assumes these words are already known or will be learned incidentally through conversation and social interactions.
Guided Reading ofGuided Reading ofInformation TextsInformation Texts
Vocabulary Vocabulary What does it take to teach a word well?
Vocabulary should be taught both explicitly and incidentally.Repetition and multiple exposure are important for learning new
vocabulary.Learning how to construct vocabulary from rich (directive)
contexts is valuable.Vocabulary learning tasks should be restructured when necessary.Vocabulary tasks should entail active engagement.Explicit vocabulary instruction should address the use of
definitions, context, and concept learning.
Guided Reading ofGuided Reading ofInformation TextsInformation Texts
Tier One Words- Consists of basic words and rarely require instructional attention in school and highly frequent in life: clock, baby, ball, happy, walk, run, etc.
Tier Two Words - High frequency use for mature language users and found across a variety of knowledge domains: coincidence, absurd, industrious, fortunate, etc.
Tier Three Words - Low frequency use and limited to specific knowledge domains: isotope, lathe, peninsula, refinery, etc. Best learned when teaching specific content lessons such as geography, science, etc.

Guided Reading ofGuided Reading ofInformation TextsInformation Texts
Vocabulary Vocabulary What words should I teach?
First, examine the type of text the children will be reading. Is it narrative or informational? Teach Tier II words if the children will be reading narrative, literary texts. Teach Tier III words if children will be reading informational, expository texts (point of contact).
Next, examine the text to develop a list of 10 Tier II or Tier III words to be taught during the week, 2 per day.
Guided Reading ofGuided Reading ofInformation TextsInformation Texts
Vocabulary Vocabulary What words should I teach?
Read the text to determine the nature of the context in which each of the selected Tier II or Tier III words appear. Directive Context
Gives clues, hints, synonyms to determine an approximate word meaning in the context.
Non-Directive Context Mentions the word without giving any clues to determine word
meaning.Mis-Directive Context
Gives clues that lead readers to false word meaning construction.
Teaching VocabularyTeaching VocabularyVocabulary Vocabulary
What words should I teach?If a word appears in a directive context, then
teach children how to use context to determine an approximate word meaning.
If a word appears in a non-directive or mis-directive context, then write a defining context.

Albasa will usually be found at grocery stores and resturants.
People like to eat albasa on their hamburgers, although albasa are tasty with
a variety of dishes. Since albasa are a vegetable, they are also
nutritious. One disadvantage of albasa is the strong odor
which has been known to produce crying symptoms among those who slice them.

Independent Reading – Scaffolded Silent Reading (ScSR)
What is Scaffolded SilentReading (ScSR)?
Scaffolded Silent Reading (ScSR) is silent reading practice that redesigns practice conditions to deal affirmatively with past concerns and criticisms surrounding traditionally implemented Silent Sustained Reading (SSR).
What is Scaffolded Silent Reading (ScSR)?ScSR is intended to provide students with necessary support, guidance, structure, appropriate text difficulty, accountability, and monitoring that will assist them in transferring their oral reading skills to successful and effective silent reading practice.
How do you implement ScSR?1. Arrange the classroom library to support
and guide children’s book reading choices toward appropriately challenging books. Place reading materials of differing reading levels into clearly labeled shelves or plastic bins representing differing levels of reading difficulty.
How do you implement ScSR?2. Color code the difficulty levels of books
within the classroom library using different colors of cloth tape on the book binding or using stickers in the upper right hand corners of the covers.
How do you implement ScSR?
How do you implement ScSR?3. Since children receive less frequent
feedback and support in ScSR than in other forms of reading practice like guided oral repeated readings with feedback, children practice reading texts they can process accurately and effortlessly at their independent reading levels (Stahl & Heubach, 2006).
How do you implement ScSR?Teach a series of explicit book selection
strategy lessons including: 1) orient students to the classroom library, 2) give book talks to hook children on books, 3) select a “just right” or appropriately
leveled book from the classroom library, 4) select books from a variety of genres in
the classroom library, 5) confirm selections of appropriate difficulty
levels using the “three finger” rule.
How do you implement ScSR?Example Lesson: Selecting an Appropriate
Independent Level Book from the Classroom Library Continued
Teach children the "three finger" rule. This rule is described by Allington (2001) and involves children in marking with three fingers of one hand the words they don't recognize on a page of print. If there are three or more unrecognized words marked by the fingers on a page of print, the text is considered to be too difficult.
How do you implement ScSR?Example Lesson: Selecting an Appropriate
Independent Level Book from the Classroom Library Continued
Teach: Show them the “three finger” strategy poster and model reading aloud a single page from the Babe Ruth book. Show them how many words on the page you did not know. If you placed more three fingers on this page, then you should choose another book either from this level or ask the teacher for another book level color you might select from that would be a bit easier.
How do you implement ScSR?
Selecting an Appropriate Independent Level Book from the Classroom Library Continued
Application: Continue modeling with the help of one to two children role playing the selection of an appropriately leveled book with decreasing amounts of guidance from you. Tell the children you will be allowing them the opportunity to go to the classroom library to select an appropriately leveled reading book one at a time. This will be their chance to show that they have listened and understand what you have taught them before they can actually go to the classroom library on their own in the future.
How do you implement ScSR?Selecting an Appropriate
Independent Level Book from the Classroom Library
ContinuedMonitoring for Success: Monitor each child’s book selection levels and their ability to use the “3 finger rule” for selecting a book.
How do you implement ScSR?Wide Reading: Oral wide reading from a variety of literary genres increases motivation, fluency, and comprehension (Stahl, 2004; Kuhn, 2005).

How do you implement ScSR?
5. ScSR time begins with a short, 5-8 minute, teacher explanation and modeling of 1) an aspect or element of fluent reading and/or 2) how to apply a comprehension strategy during reading using a teacher selected text.
How do you implement ScSR?6. Following this brief lesson,
children are dismissed from the group to select a new book or retrieve a previously selected book from the classroom library.
How do you implement ScSR?7. Provide approximately 20 minutes
reading practice time each day.8. During reading practice time, the
teacher conducts Individual Monitoring Conferences (IMCs).
How do you implement ScSR?Individual Monitoring Conferences (IMCs)
include the following: Children are asked to read aloud
from their book while the teacher records a running record analysis of their reading.
After reading aloud for 1-2 minutes, the teacher initiates a discussion with each student about the book. The child is asked to retell what they read aloud.
How do you implement ScSR?Individual Monitoring Conferences (IMCs) include the following:
Follow up with general story structure questions if the book is a narrative. If the book is about information, ask students to explain the information or answer questions about facts related to the topic of the book. This is a brief discussion of about 2 minutes.
How do you implement ScSR?
Individual Monitoring Conferences (IMCs) include the following:
Finally during each IMC, ask each child to set a goal for a date to finish the book and select how they will share what the book is about from a displayed menu of “book response projects”

How do you implement ScSR? Conducting IMCs with 4-5 students
per day ensures that children are engaged and accountable for the time spent reading silently (Stahl, 2004).
How do you implement ScSR?
9. At the end of the ScSR time, children quietly return their books and reading folders to their places around the classroom or in the classroom library.
10. Quickly transition to the next part of the daily routine.
