WHY?

Teaching genre types can strengthen students' reading skills by making them more active readers and encourage reluctant readers to discover new types of genres that they enjoy reading.

The first step for students to understand the variety of reading genre types is to understand the difference between fiction and nonfiction texts. Once students have this foundation, you can easily build upon it by introducing more specific genre types. 

WHO?

• They are designed for elementary students from Kindergarten through 6th grade. 
• Tailored towards younger grades and doesn’t include as much information as the Genre Anchor Charts.

If you’re looking for more details of specific elements of each genre, try the Reading Genre Anchor Charts & Interactive Templates, which include the basic student-friendly definition of each genre and the elements and features of each genre type.
