Okay, people! Don’t make me have to edit all your summer reading lists. I’ve begun to see lists under development and most of them <gasp> have forgotten to include any fascinating nonfiction titles. We have series nonfiction, stand-alone nonfiction, biographies, how-to manuals, so many fascinating titles out there.
I hear you librarians. You didn’t MEAN to neglect the large percentage of our population that prefer nonfiction to fiction. You had a momentary lapse and are off to add to your lists.
Thank you. That’s all I ask. Include us nonfiction readers. Need ideas? Ask in the comments section and I might even provide some links for you, but you’re going to have to ask.
Thank you! I work with third and fourth graders and non fiction happens to be 70 percent of my school library circulation. I think that many reluctant fiction readers are afraid to pick their own book, because of all that is involved. At least, with nonfiction they can find a topic they can already relate to, which is more appealing to them – and keeps them reading!
