Teaching Nonfiction Reading Skills

The author Bill Ferriter is a science teacher working with teachers in Austraslia.  Regardless of his subject area, Ferriter presents nonfiction reading skills that he uses in his 6th grade classroom.  You will have to work a bit because all his behaviors and skills are downloadable through embedded links.  It is worth your time to do so.  They are excellent and are aligned to Common Core Literacy in History, Science, and Technical Subjects.  Our job as Title I teachers is to expose students to different nonfiction texts.  His downloadable handouts are used by the students during the reading process.
