Nonfiction/Twin Text Entry #4
"Soccer" by Allan Morey is an informational nonfiction book that teaches the readers about the game of soccer and how it is played. The author uses simple language to describe the important aspects of soccer and the various positions that people play. Page number 13 shows a picture of a "goalie" and says, "Brad is the goalie. He grabs the ball. He stops it from going into the goal." In this style of writing, the readers are easily able to understand what a goalie is supposed to do in soccer. The author also includes a diagram of a soccer field with labels of every important position of the field. I would consider this book to be intended for the primary grade levels because it includes simple sentences and vocabulary for beginning readers.
The twin text I chose to pair with this nonfiction book is, "Berenstain Bears Get Their Kicks" by Stan and Jan Berenstain. This book is about how papa bear loved football, basketball, and baseball. His cubs had an interest in soccer and decided they wanted to play soccer instead of the sports papa bear enjoyed. Throughout the book, papa bear started to understand soccer by observing his cubs while they were at soccer practice.
Both of these books used simple language to teach about soccer which is why I would consider the audience for these books to be the primary grade levels. I thought that these books fit well together because each of the books included the basic rules and skills of the game for someone young to understand.
