Reading and Writing: Tools for Learning
• Biology is not plants and animals.
• History is not events.• Astronomy is not
planets and stars.
Instead…
They are all languages which describe things.
Postman, 1979

Why Informational Text Reading?
• The study of content requires the study of vocabulary
• Literacy requirements increase from one grade level to the next
• Teaching literacy during just one part of the day is not enough to meet the changing societal needs
• Different subject matters require different literacy skills
![Page 4: Learning to Read and Reading to Learn with Informational Text Dr. Rebecca C. Faulkner University of South Carolina Upstate.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e5c5503460f94b55069/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Literacy Demands Have Changed
• In World War II, the manual for repairing fighter planes was seven (7) pages long.
• In 2008, the manual for repairing fighter planes is seven thousand (7000) pages long.

Additional Studies
• The majority of reading and writing that adults do is nonfiction.– Barnes and Noble determined that the overwhelming
majority of text being read by males, ages 0-100 is nonfiction
• 96% of sites on the web contain nonfiction, informational text (Kamil & Lane, 1998)
• 44 million American adults cannot extract a single piece of information from nonfiction text if any inference or background knowledge is required (Levy, 1993)

More Facts
• Because of this lack of background knowledge, low income and minority children are even more likely to struggle with informational text (Applebee, Langer, Mullis, Latham and Gentile, 1994)
• NAEP scores indicate a slump in fourth grade reading scores and that is, in part, explained by problems with informational text (Chall, Jacobs and Baldwin, 1990)

ReQuest
1. Both the teacher and student read the first sentence of the text silently
2. The teacher closes her book and allows the children to question her/him about the text. The teacher asks the students to clarify unclear questions.
3. Next the students close their books and the teacher asks them questions
4. Follow this procedure until you feel that the students have enough information to make a prediction about the text. If the prediction can be justified the students continue on reading silently. If not, continue with the question exchange.

Shared Reading Activity
A Roaring ReturnGrizzly bears have made a big, hairy comeback. A
government study found that about 765 grizzlies live in Montana. This is more than double the number scientists expected to find. The Montana grizzlies have been threatened since 1975.
The study lasted five years. Researchers gathered 34,000 samples of the bears' hair. They found it on trees the bears rubbed against. The samples told researchers a lot about the bears' numbers and health. Now it seems the bears are out of the woods.

• PREVIEW: On a Christmas Eve of World War I, British and German soldiers lay down their weapons to celebrate the holiday together.
• GENRE: Historical fiction CULTURE: European (World War I) THEME: War and peace READERS: 4 READER AGES: 11 and up LENGTH: 12 minutes ROLES: Soldiers 1–4
• NOTES: The Christmas Truce of 1914 is one of the most remarkable incidents of World War I and perhaps of all military history. Starting in some places on Christmas Eve and in others on Christmas Day, the truce covered as much as two-thirds of the British-German front, with thousands of soldiers taking part. Perhaps most remarkably, it grew out of no single initiative but sprang up in each place spontaneously and independently. Nearly everything described here is drawn from first-hand accounts in letters and diaries of the time. Britishisms include using Nowell instead of Noël, and football instead of soccer. For best effect, place SOLDIERS in numerical order, as seen from the audience

Spell It/Learn It/Write It
If you asked a hundred people where to find the most magnificent and tranquil tropical paradise on earth, it is a good bet that many would name the Hawaiian Islands. Few of them, however, would realize the extent to which the islands are a product of the pure, raw violence of nature. Incessant volcanic activity over a period of hundreds of thousands of years actually created the islands where no land had been before. A hot spot of magma (fluid rock material) thrust lava through the ocean floor to create a seamount, an undersea volcano. As the lava was cooled by the ocean water, it formed a massive mountain whose tip finally emerged from the sea. Mauna Loa, the most famous of the four active volcanoes in the Hawaiian chain, is really the world’s highest mountain. If measured from the ocean floor to its summit, it towers 56,000 feet, dwarfing its more renowned brother, Mount Everest.
