Abstract
A discussion of four books current to literacy research regarding informational texts, this book review includes topics such as: close reading of informational texts, teaching with text-based questions, social justice in the social studies classroom, and language and ethnography in education. These various themes are connected by a desire to help teachers integrate informational texts in the classroom as mandated by the adoption of Common Core State Standards.
