I wonder why nonfiction is more focused on when it use to be not focused on. Why do we not keep the different genres even?

I learned that using text features and structures can be used to help students notice what's important and what's not. I never thought about that having to explicitly teach that.

I wonder how summarizing and synthesizing can be tied to other strategies we have learned, such as questioning, inferring, visualizing, etc.

I learned how important it is for children to learn how to summarize and synthesize. It increases their understanding and comprehension. I have seen how these strategies have increased my comprehension.

If you compare a person's childhood scriptures to their current scriptures, you'll typically see that in the childhood scriptures EVERYTHING is highlight. Every page seems to glow neon yellow. As we grow, we learn that doing that is not very effective. So "adult" scriptures tend to have a few highlights or underlines on key points or words.

I thought that it was interesting that the book talked about how awhile ago nonfiction wasn't a huge thing in schools but not with the common core standards it is 50% of what students read.

I really enjoyed reading the parts of these chapters focusing on nonfiction. I am not a fan of nonfiction, but after this reading I can see the benefits when we involve it in instruction. It also was interesting that nonfiction is something we can introduce to students at an early age.

Rereading the text all over again helps us to comprehend the text better so that we are able to understand what the author was saying.  I remember when I was junior in high school, my teacher put all of us into different book study groups once awhile to read and discuss what we read from the books that was given to us as our assignment. I really liked this ideal because I'm able to learn from the text as well from others - what their opinions about the book.

Students are asked to summarize when they do not know how to take out information that is key to their learning. It helped us realize that we as teachers need to teach them how to take notes.

That details show the bigger picture! They are important too. Just as important it is to distinguish details and important information (facts).

Although we don't really love nonfiction as much as fiction; it is essential to help our students prepare for reading comprehension and for their future education.

I learned about the importance of using nonfiction as well as fiction in the classroom. I can remember when I was a kid and the teacher would often times only use fiction books. I wish that is something that my teacher would have done differently.
