Stead, Tony (2002) Is That a Fact?: Teaching Nonfiction Writing K-3. Portland, Maine: Stenhouse Publishers Efforts at instructing young writers have traditionally focused on fiction forms: narrative, poetry, diaries and journals. Yet, the writing required of students as they progress academically is clearly nonfiction. Author Tony Stead, a literacy consultant and former classroom teacher, shares his belief that young students are capable, highly capable in fact, of writing nonfiction. Not to the exclusion of fiction, Stead notes, but as one component of a well-rounded writing instruction program. Stead's book, Is That a Fact? , explores how teachers can incorporate nonfiction writing into their K-3 curriculum. Divided into two sections, the book first discusses theory, outlining the need for and reasons behind nonfiction writing instruction for young students. Here he also talks about how to help youngsters with research and gives guidelines on spelling instruction. Section two tackles the practical, looking at specific methods, techniques and assignments that have been successfully used in classrooms. A question and answer chapter rounds out the volume. Stead strongly believes that interests motivate young students and that their interests can form the basis for their nonfiction writing. Their natural curiosity to know and learn about the sun, worms, and all sorts of things, provides a perfect framework for nonfiction writing. Writing nonfiction introduces students to the concepts of planning, researching, writing, revising, and publishing, important writing elements students need throughout their school career. Introducing these concepts to lower elementary students at an understandable level is what Stead's book is all about.

142. Education Book Review/Nonfiction Writing From The Inside Out Her beliefs about what constitutes nonfiction writing set the stage for Robb believes that nonfiction writing should be interesting and engaging, http://www.lib.msu.edu/corby/reviews/posted/robb2.htm

Robb, Laura (2004). Nonfiction Writing From the Inside Out: Writing Lessons Inspired by Conversations with Leading Authors. New York: Scholastic As a teacher of writing for the middle grades, Laura Robb combines years of experience to offer a fresh approach for teachers. Starting with the perspective of writers rather than educators, Robb challenges educators to think differently about the art of nonfiction writing. This book is not meant to be mechanically cut and copied. Rather it is a thoughtful analysis on what it means to write and it allows readers to modify her ideas for their own classrooms. Robb provides guidelines on the steps involved in writing nonfiction, coupled with mini-lessons that educators should adapt for their classroom. Robb is obviously excited about her teaching, and this can be contagious. Her beliefs about what constitutes nonfiction writing set the stage for educators to question their own assumptions. She uses the term ‘creative nonfiction’ to separate what she teaches from more typical, and often boring, essays. Robb believes that nonfiction writing should be interesting and engaging, and by making it exciting, students will want to learn how to write. Part of what makes this book intriguing is that Robb stresses the teaching of reading nonfiction as much as the writing of nonfiction. Educators are encouraged to bring well-written nonfiction into the classroom, such as from journals or magazines (as opposed to the usual textbooks). The assumption here is that before students can write well, they need to read well-written, interesting articles, and to understand why they are well-written. Students do not learn to read just for content, but learn to read for style and for organization. In essence, students learn that good writing doesn’t just happen, they learn how it becomes good writing.

A former writing instructor for Long Ridge Writer's Group (a division of The Institute of Children's Literature), Rita has critiqued both fiction and nonfiction manuscripts, and yes, a few were "cute bunny" stories. Five Reasons to Write Nonfiction for Children by Rita Milios Most children's writers, it seems, are writing fiction. There's something about cute bunny stories, rhyming text and talking animals that many children's writers find irresistible. Alas, few children's editors agree. Finding a home for that cute bunny story may be almost as difficult as, well, finding a real talking animal. On the other hand, publishers of children's nonfiction are often desperate for good manuscripts from talented writers. I'd never suggest that a children's fiction writer turn to nonfiction simply because there's more market potential. But I would suggest that if you can adjust your creative flow to include researching and writing interesting nonfiction pieces that children will enjoy, you might just see your name in print more often and your bank account filled with a few more bucks. Here are some practical reasons why you might want to consider nonfiction:
