Rosen Real Readers Engineering, Technology, Math and Arts Collection (Grades 2-3)
Fiction and nonfiction pairs provide opportunities for students to analyze and compare different perspectives. This pairing supports thinking across texts by illustrating how different authors treat the same topic. Excitingly, this pairing contrasts craft and structure of fiction with craft and structure of informational texts. The books in this collection provide emerging readers the chance to experience a range of science, technology, engineering, art, and math subject matter at their ability level. Many text structures are utilized, including description, cause and effect, problem and solution, and compare and contrast. Narrative nonfiction is used in certain titles to provide students with a distinct point of view. Each nonfiction book in this set pairs with a fiction book for connecting across texts and comprehension through connection strategies.
