Student examples are shared as a teacher navigates her students across multiple texts, including electronic texts. To support students in learning how to read, write, and talk about nonfiction texts, the teacher utilized a text feature bulletin board and had students create a poster centered on a nonfiction topic utilizing text features. Through these experiences, students increased their scientific knowledge as they learned about the construction of nonfiction texts.
