Teaching with Nonfiction

How can we help students manage the transition from fiction to nonfiction and learn the comprehension strategies required by genres as different as textbooks and chapter books? And how can we help them master nonfiction writing genres such as letters, persuasive essays, and informational texts?  Stenhouse authors paint vivid pictures of classrooms immersed in reading and writing nonfiction – beginning with primary classrooms where teachers use nonfiction reading and writing to help children explore and understand their world.
