Taking A Closer Look at Non-Fiction Text

Non-Fiction Books Non-Fiction books give the reader real facts and details about real people, places, and things. * Animals * Famous People * Communities * Famous Places * Countries * And Many More… This is different from a Fiction book that tells about make believe people, places and things. * A princess in a castle * A boy fighting a dragon * Talking animals * A genie in a bottle

Non-Fiction Text Features -Title Page -Table of Contents -Body or Main Text -Photographs -Glossary -Index There are many features in a non-fiction text that will help the reader better understand the topic you are reading and learning about.

Title Page Title- This tells us what we will be reading about. Author- The person or group of people who wrote the book or text. Publisher- This is the company that prints the copies of the books we read Where published - This tells us where (the city or state) the book was published in.

TABLE OF CONTENTS The table of contents tells us what chapter we can find specific information in and what page we should go to. This helps us understand the main idea of each chapter before reading it! Click here to see an example…
