fiction vs. nonfiction

We are beginning to talk about books that are make believe and books that have facts.  There is a perfect opportunity to help your child discover about nonfiction books and their traits this week by talking about thier story, A Walk Through The Desert.  As you read with your child, please point out the real life pictures, labels on the pictures, and maps.  Ask them to find facts in their books about animals that they read.  This will help your child be prepared for the upper grades and thier terminology.  Thanks for all you do! It's showing.
