Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Marquette District Curriculum
Instruction in Non-Fiction reading occurs early on in elementary school by first exposing students to the text. Once students begin to learn the differences between fiction and non-fiction, they will begin to learn how to use text features to comprehend the content they are reading. Some of these text features include headings, captions, and bold print words. Students will also learn about non-fiction text structures such as compare and contrast, sequenced, and cause and effect.
Once students enter middle school and high school, they will use the non-fiction reading skills daily in other subjects. In Science classes students will use most of these skills to learn and memorize important vocabulary words and concepts. Bold print words and context clues will aid students in this type of study. In History, students will use many of the sequencing skills in order to put events in chronological order. One of the text features to use for this skill is a time line which can be found in the text.
