Non-fiction-What is Your Experience?

Hello Room full of Readers!


We will be starting a new read-aloud book this week and it is in a genre that we have not used for a read-aloud yet....non-fiction.

What is your experience with non-fiction books?  What is the last non-fiction book you have read?  What did you rate in on a scale of 1 to 10?  How often would you say you read non-fiction?  Is there a certain topic that you tend to read about?  What about family members, do you see any family members reading non-fiction?  If so, what types or titles?  Do you have any non-fiction books you are planning on or want to read?  If so, which ones?

I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences.....
Happy Reading,
Mrs. S

Turning Points

Wow, what a finish to our book!

I can't wait to hear your thoughts and impressions.  Tell me what you would rate this book on a scale of 1 to ten and tell me how you choose your rating.
What was your favorite part?  Least favorite part?

How is the summer of 1976 a turning point in the lives of both Gabe and Frita? When they are older, what do you think each will most remember about this exciting summer?

Happy Reading!
