When it comes to keeping students interested in nonfiction, sometimes it can be difficult. This is why I have found some interesting nonfiction topics that I know kids love to learn about. They are tried and true in my classroom and are the perfect way to cover a variety of subjects. It also allows for a great way to teach finding text evidence and teaching text features.

Endangered Sea Turtles

Any endangered animal or ocean animal will do, children just love learning about animals in general. Yet, I find myself loving to read about sea turtles because we are able to cover ocean life and endangered animals in one!

What student doesn’t love learning about a creepy insect or two? The diving bell spider is one of my favorites to teach!

They’re scary, but they are also super interesting. My students really enjoy learning about tsunamis, sandstorms, hurricanes, and blizzards. That is why I created these fun articles when thinking about interesting nonfiction topics. Try these natural disaster articles to get started!
