National Geographic Kids are wonderful for teachin

National Geographic Kids are wonderful for teaching just about any nonfiction skills. One of my favorite features is the headings. They are great for predicting the main idea without giving it directly.

The headings are also great for inspiring students to jazz up their own nonfiction writing headings. Scroll to see how students became inspired with their research headings.

Any time you can make a connection to ice cream, the strategy becomes more engaging! The students and I worked together to discuss main idea and write supporting details (“cool facts”) in our own words.
