The Best of Teacher Entrepreneurs: FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON

by Ruth S.
1st - 12th Grade

NONFICTION STUDENT WORKSHEETS

My non-fiction student worksheet template is best used with non-fiction books, autobiographies, biographies, articles and fact based texts.

It's a great tool to help kids become familiar with nonfiction text and is aligned with the Common Core's section titled Reading Informational Text.

Included on the last page of the packet, is a note about the blank box. I like my students to include a sketch of something that relates to the topic.
