2 Choosing and Using Nonfiction Text in PreK Presented by: Alison Schmerler New Standards Call for a Balance of Fiction and Nonfiction Text Fiction Nonfiction High Quality Nonfiction Texts Are Substantive Meaningfully linked to content areas Allow for more exposure to academic vocabulary and content Choosing Informational Text Format & Visual Appeal Engaging Writing Style Accuracy 1
3 Format and Visual Appeal Are the front and back covers, title page, etc. appealing? Is the letter size and type, particularly for young children, large and simple? Are the illustrations colorful and appealing? Do the illustrations explain and enhance the content? Does the text layout serve to highlight key information? Are there headings, sidebars, and other visual features? Are labels and captions simple yet sufficient? Engaging Writing Style Does the author draw the reader in with an engaging lead? Is background knowledge of the reader considered? Are new ideas connected to what children already know? Are there any interactive elements that involve the reader? Is the language appropriate for children? Does the author explain difficult concepts clearly and simply? Are new terms explained, highlighted, or defined? Accuracy Is the information still current? Do illustrations accurately depict the text? Can facts be verified with other sources? Are animals depicted accurately without being given human characteristics? Are statements of opinion clearly stated as such? 2
4 Lesson Plan Template Prepare to listen Guide listening Explicitly teach from the text Facilitate connections Step One: Prepare to Listen Which concepts and vocabulary need to be developed? How can I build excitement for listening? What s the overall purpose for reading this book and how can I share that with the children? Step Two: Guide Listening How do we make high quality informational text of appropriate complexity accessible to all listeners? How do we help children navigate informational texts? Step Three: Explicitly Teaching from the Text Do we need to teach a concept, new content-related vocabulary, or a particular text structure to the children? Step Four: Facilitate Connections How do we help children to expand their exploration of this topic to other curricular areas? 3
5 Checklist for Evaluating Informational Literature Evaluating Format and Visual Appeal Is the format visually appealing? Yes No Is there an attractive cover? Are the font, letter size, and type large, simple, and easy to read? Are there high-quality, appealing photographs and/or illustrations in which appropriate media have been used? Do illustrations contribute to the visual appeal of the book? Are the illustrations clear and large but not overly crowded? Do the illustrations appropriately explain and enhance the content? Do illustrations depict accurate size relationships? Are labels and captions simple yet sufficient? Is there a wide variety of illustrative materials (maps, charts, and graphs) that serve to clarify and extend the text? Does the text layout (headings, sidebars, and/or other visual features, such as special fonts or letter size) serve to highlight key information for readers? Is there an appropriate amount of text and illustrations on each page? Is there a table of contents, index, and/or glossary? 4
6 Evaluating Accuracy and Authenticity Is the book accurate? Is information about the authors qualifications or process for research of the topic included? Does the book have a recent copyright date and/or is the information based on up-to-date research? Do illustrations accurately depict the text? Can facts presented in the text be verified with other authoritative sources? Are animals depicted accurately without being given human characteristics? Do authors refrain from making value-laden statements and/or statements of opinion, rather than fact? Are statements of opinion clearly stated as such? If the book is a blend of fact and fiction, is it clear which parts are fact and which are fiction? Evaluating Writing Style and Appropriateness Is the writing style engaging? Does the author draw the reader in with an engaging lead? Are ideas logically ordered? Is the background knowledge of the reader considered? Are new ideas presented in a way that helps children make connections to what they already know? Is the language appropriate for the children? 5
7 Does the author explain difficult concepts clearly and simply? Are there any interactive elements that involve the reader? Are new terms explained, highlighted, or defined? Do the sound and meaning devices employed by the author enhance the rhythm and flow of the language and the child s understanding of the content? Is the author s choice of text structure appropriate for presenting the content? Evaluating Potential Content and Curricular Connections Does the text lend itself to both content and curricular connections? Is the text is aligned to standards and curricular components? Can the text be used across the curriculum in conjunction with other content areas? Does the text relate to topics and themes that serve to build children s knowledge base? 6
