I have been working on putting together some activities that focus on nonfiction texts. One area we I want to focus on is text structure. I found a great site called Literacy Leader with tons of great resources for teaching text structure. They have a great poster of signal words and questions. Click on the picture for a link to the pdf. Be sure to check out all their other GREAT resources here.

A snip here and a snip there..

Here are some of the books I'm going to put out for the kids to use.
I whipped up an activity sheet and put it all together in a gallon bag to use as a literacy center.
