__**Online Informational and Literary Texts**__ Students should be exposed to a variety of texts that explore the understandings that curriculum is uncovering. Students read a balance of literary and informational text in the classroom. Through these texts they build knowledge about the world around them and how to interpret it. Teachers are patient, create more time, space, and support for close deep reading.

**Various Informational Texts by Topic** ====AoW in front of informational texts means "Article of the Week" which Kelly Gallagher coined. Students are given the article on a Monday and read it independently. It may be connected to the literature they are reading, the project they may be doing, or just an interesting read for students. Teachers can assign a variety of tasks for the students to experience while reading the text to drive reading comprehension, vocabulary, and standards. After students have completed the task independently, they engage in conversation using a variety of dialogue structures. The articles are sorted by topic to help teachers select appropriate articles connected to themes.====
