Celebrate Nonfiction

Exploring the Joy of Nonfiction Reading and Writing

Having Fun with Common Core: Text Structures, Problem/Solution

As I said last week, my A Place for . . . books are
perfect for teaching the problem/solution structure. But there are some other
great books out there that you can also use:

Boy, Were We Wrong About Dinosaurs by Kathleen Kudlinski

Boy, Were We Wrong About the Solar System by Kathleen Kudlinski

You can also look at
many picture book biographies. With narrative nonfiction being so popular
today, many picture book biographies are structured in such a way that they
focus in on the person’s greatest challenge and describe how he or she solved
it. That’s just what you want.

It’s also worth
noting that EVERY fiction book is structured in this way. The character’s
conflict is what keeps us all reading. We want to see what happens.
