 Reading A Variety of Texts

"I can comprehend, and make connections between a variety of texts such as fiction, non-fiction, infographics, magazines, newspapers, comics, and legends, etc." 

Adapted from the Grade Six Alberta Learn Curriculum

    Through the use of multiple types of texts, all students have the opportunity to learn new information and make meaningful contributions to small group discussions.

" I didn't expect for it to have any new information."

 Grade six students expanding their knowledge through a non fiction picture book.

Magazine articles can provide condensed information.

    Varied texts on the same topic can provide multiple perspectives that help students rethink events and issues that impact everyone and deepen their knowledge.

After reading a historical fiction newspaper article,
students were encouraged to determine which information is based on fact and 
which portions were clearly fiction.

In addition to the public libraries, Andrew Sibbald students have access to Epic Books an online reading platform that has a plethora of fiction and informational texts. The link below will take students into the Epic login page. Students will know there login information.
