 Nonfiction Matters: Reading, Writing, and Research in Grades 3 to 8

Author: Stephanie Harvey  Stephanie Harvey shows how students can read expository text, engage in research, and write authentic nonfiction that is captivating, visual, and full of voice. The inquiry projects she describes require in-depth learning: topic selection, question development, research exploration, reading for content, organization, synthesis, writing to convey meaning, and presenting findings - all skills that develop independent thinkers who know how to make decisions, solve problems, and apply their knowledge insightfully.
