"Building knowledge through content rich non--fiction plays an essential role in literacy and in the Standards. In K--5, fulfilling the standards requires a 50--50 balance between informational and literary reading. Informational reading primarily includes content rich non--fiction in history/social studies, science and the arts; the K--5 Standards strongly recommend that students build coherent general knowledge both within each year and across years. In 6--12, ELA classes place much greater attention to a specific category of informational text—literary nonfiction—than has been traditional. In grades 6--12, the Standards for literacy in history/social studies, science and technical subjects ensure that students can independently build knowledge in these disciplines through reading and writing.

Classrooms are places where students access the world – science, social studies, the arts and literature – through informational and literary text. In elementary, at least 50% of what students read is informational; in middle school, it is 55%; and by the end of high school, it is 70% (CCSS Introduction, p. 5). Increasing the amount of informational text students read K-12 will prepare them to read college and career-ready texts.
