When reading NONFICTION, remember...

You are reading to LEARN, so note new information in your own words, to be sure you understand it
The text will often teach you "How" something works - could you explain it to a friend?
The text is based on real information and facts - where is the information from?
Use text features such as diagrams, lists, and charts to get more information - how to they add to your understanding?
Notice where the information comes from - is someone selling a product? convincing you of something that doesn't fit the science facts?
