As a reading teacher I have always been a firm believer that there is a MAJOR difference between the reading "strategies" or techniques used to read non-fiction compared to those used to read fiction. As a reader, I have personally experienced this difference. However, I had an interesting experience today. I was told that there was virtually no difference between reading the two types of text, and teaching non-fiction in the classroom was not worth the instructional time.
This is the first time I have ever heard a reading teacher say this and I am very very curious as to others' thoughts regarding this topic. Opinions? Thoughts? I would love to hear your ideas . . . .
