Teaching nonfiction can feel like juggling five skills at once—central idea, text structure, author’s purpose, text features, and rhetorical appeals (just to name a few).

​

This Nonfiction Reading Reference Notebook gives students an at-a-glance toolkit for every key concept—so they can read, analyze, and respond without you repeating yourself 47 times.

​

Inside, you’ll find:​
✔️ Clear examples of nonfiction terms, structures, and features
✔️ Reference pages on primary vs. secondary sources
✔️ Visuals for rhetorical appeals, summaries, and key ideas
✔️ A digital + printable format so it’s always accessible

​

Give your students the anchor charts they need in their notebooks—and finally stop answering, “Wait… what’s the author’s purpose again?”
