Conclusion

**//Conclusion//** From this research, teachers can see that it is possible for young children to identify informational genre types and use nonfiction conventions in their writing. It is also important for teachers to understand the importance of reading nonfiction texts to their class in order to develop their schema for this genre. In addition, teachers should keep nonfiction books available in classroom libraries. The exposure of these texts will ultimately bridge the gap between the primary grades and upper elementary grades and hopefully decrease the gap between the two.
