Publisher's Synopsis
Nonfiction reading skills are essential to students' achievement in virtually every academic discipline. To do science, students need to read science books and articles. To study history, they need to be skilled at reading all kinds of primary and secondary sources. When we help students become powerful readers of nonfiction, we help them become powerful learners.
This unit assumes you have a reading workshop up and running in your classroom and that your students have done some work in reading partnerships.
