A leading authority in using informational text shows teachers how to develop project-based units on reading, writing, and researching major text types-informative/explanatory, persuasive, procedural/how-to, nonfiction narrative, and biographical.

Most teachers understand the importance of teaching children to read and write informational text. But how do they do it effectively? And in a way that is truly engaging? Nell K. Duke has the answer. With this book, she shows teachers how to build skills in reading and writing major informational text types-informative/explanatory, persuasive: opinion, procedural/how-to, nonfiction narrative, and biography-through project-based instruction. Children read and write for real purposes and real audiences on topics that matter to them. In the process, they make a difference in the world.

Drawing from the latest research, Duke explains how to design and carry out instruction, providing a blueprint for developing project-based units from start to finish-units that move children through a logical progression of phases:

  • Project Launch
  • Reading and Research
  • Writing and Research
  • Revision and Editing
  • Presentation and Celebration

Packed with clear, precise connections to Common Core State Standards, classroom-tested teaching ideas, and the work of practicing teachers and their students, this book will be an essential resource for years to come.
