| Developing Literacy: Nonfiction is a series of seven photocopiable activity books for literac development. Each book provides a range of nonfiction reading and writing activities and supports the teaching of literacy skills at text, sentence and word levels.
The reading activities develop the children's study and research skills (reading for a purpose, understnading and interpreting and making use of what they have read) and provide models on which they can base their own writing.
The writing activities concentrate on the purpose of a text, the audience for whom it is written and the context in whichit is to be read, and encourage the children to be aware of these considerations when they write.
The activities in Developing Literacy: Nonfiction Year 2 reinforce text-level, word-level and sentence-level skills from Year 1 and encourage the children to:
- Read, use and write labels and captions
- Read, write and follow lists and instructions
- Learn how to use simple nonfiction texts efficiently
- Use alphabetical lists, dictionaries and contents pages
- Write questions and find the answers using simple nonfiction texts
