Nonfiction Activities | Graphic Organizers | Worksheets | Text Features

This resource for exploring non-fiction was originally designed to be used with classroom magazines, such as Scholastic News and Time For Kids. However, over the years I found that these activities worked great with just about ANY non-fiction text. This Non-Fiction Toolkit includes activities for teaching text features and text structures, and includes a variety of graphic organizers to use with non-fiction texts. This resource includes the following activities for teaching and exploring non-fiction:
