Introduction to Nonfiction Reading Unit

Essential Questions When our curiosity is raised about a topic how do we learn more about it? How do capable readers make sense of nonfiction text? How do responsible readers judge the accuracy of nonfiction text? How do we read nonfiction text to become aware and empathetic to the needs of our community?

So, why are we doing this? Practicing nonfiction reading by studying text structures can help us… *Read faster* *Understand better* *Remember longer*

Before Reading Strategies (1)Access Prior Knowledge *What do you already know about the topic? Features (2)Examine Text Features * title, bold faced words, italics, headings, graphics Structure (3) Predict the Text Structure of the article *hint: you can find useful clues in the title! (4) Determine your reader’s purpose and (5) determine your reading rate

Reader’s Purpose People read for different reasons. -For example, you may read a horror story to be entertained. -Or a history of World War II to learn more about the subject that interests you. When you read, it is often helpful to set a purpose for reading, or determine what you’d like to get out of a piece of writing. To get an idea of that purpose, try asking yourself questions that begin with who, what, when, where, why, and how.

Reading Rate Each type of reading has a different rate. –An exciting novel is a quicker read than a text in biology. You should adjust your reading rate depending on the type of text that you read. Look at the chart on the next slide to determine where a newspaper article would fall.

Reading Flexibility ModePurposeRateRate range D E C R E A SE 1.

Rate varies with amount to be learned and type of material wpm BASEBASE 3. General reading (newspapers, magazines, novels) To read as a leisure-time activity for pleasure and general information. Rate varies with material, purpose, and familiarity wpm 4. Skimming (initial research) To get a general idea of the material and some details; to get a mental outline of material's organization. Can be twice as fast as general reading rate wpm IN C R E A S E 5. Scanning (phone numbers, airline schedules) To locate specific information and answer questions as quickly as possible.
