It is important for children to read a wide genre of books and this includes non-fiction books. In recent years, the cloze passages in the PSLE are usually non-fiction or information texts. For example, in the 2011 English PSLE, the cloze passage is based on Egypt, pyramids and mummies.
The Magic Tree House has a series of simple yet informative non-fiction chapter books - Fast Trackers. For example, children will learn how pyramids were built, how and why mummies were made, what hieroglyphics is and many more interesting facts.
For kids who love animals, they can also find out more about dolphins and sharks, polar bears and dinosaurs as there are also books on these animals.
