Informational texts include books as well as text in other formats such as magazines, newspapers, and online articles. The primary purpose of informational text is to provide information about the natural and social world. Literacy research cites many reasons why nonfiction/informational texts should be included in primary classrooms. The availability of nonfiction texts can motivate some children to read. Also, incorporating nonfiction texts in the early grades helps children develop the literacy skills they need to read and write informational texts in later grades. Informational text supports children's overall literacy development by expanding vocabulary and background knowledge, while also exposing them to the language and structure of expository texts.
