The use of nonfiction books provides children with a diverse range of themes likely not only to join their different needs and interests, but also to meet a variety of teachers’ educational aims (Guérette, Roberge, Bader and Carrier, 2007; Prévost and Morin, 2011).These books are important resources to stimulate language skills’ development underlying the reading, writing and oral communication learning process, in addition to their inherent appeal to children. Indeed, interactive reading of nonfiction books could contribute, among others, to the acquisition of a more abstract vocabulary, world-knowledge enrichment, and a discovery of knowledge on literacy (Giasson, 2011). Children will also construct their understanding of the text by using the images provided. Images provide a visual medium which readers then use to make sense of the information within the book. This article offers a didactic reflection and attempts to: 1) define different types of nonfiction books that may be used with emerging and beginning readers; 2) present the potential of this book genre with this clientele; 3) present different ways to enliven interactive reading of nonfiction books with preschoolers and early elementary students.
