The ability to comprehend and write nonfictional text is integral to success in school and consequently it is an important focus of literacy instruction in the primary grades.

What features help you learn from these books?” The class had a rich discussion regarding specific key features such as labels, headings, photos, etc., and how such features can help the reader to focus on important information.The Riverview first graders have been reading nonfictional texts in their classroom.
