A genre of literature is a classification that describes the content, tone, and style of a writer's work. Understanding the different genres of literature can help you decide what type to pursue as a writer.
In the landscape of literature, there are four major genres: poetry, drama, fiction, and creative nonfiction.

Writers can then further categorize their literature into subgenres. Subgenres are smaller and more specific versions of a genre.]]> 2023-06-08 00:13:44 UTC https://padlet.com/astridsalcedocim/thecandle_24_tetl/wish/2617588646 astridsalcedocim https://padlet.com/astridsalcedocim/thecandle_24_tetl/wish/2617591192 2023-06-08 00:16:56 UTC https://padlet.com/astridsalcedocim/thecandle_24_tetl/wish/2617591192 Why do we use literature? astridsalcedocim https://padlet.com/astridsalcedocim/thecandle_24_tetl/wish/2619021059 Literature can help us make better sense of our world, our lives, and ourselves. Literature has the power to give us an enriched understanding of other worlds, lives, and times, of the way things have been and how they might be.

There are a number of reasons why English teachers are turning back to literature as a way to develop students’ reading skill, for example:

  • It encourages students to communicate with others, by sharing their thoughts and feelings about the story.
  • Students engage with the attitudes and opinions expressed by the author or the characters. This helps students to develop their sense of self, their moral code, and their understanding of the world.
  • Exposure to non-standard forms of English (as is often found in novels) can help students to recognize norms and patterns.

The National Library Trust (UK), defines reading for pleasure, also referred to as independent, leisure or recreational reading, as:

Reading we do of our own free will, anticipating the satisfaction we will get from the act of reading.

They add that it's also reading that may have begun at someone else’s request, which we continue because we are interested in it. Christina Clark and Kate Rumbold note that reading for pleasure can be described as an act of play, which allows us to experience different worlds in our imagination and a creative and active/ interactive process.

One your spare time or maybe some break from school, look for the books you haven't finished or are interested in

Create a space within which you can relax
Maybe reading on your way home/work is not for you but in the morning, at breakfast, in bed before sleeping, or even in the bathroom.

Start your own book club or join one
Being surrounded by people with the same interest and who you can talk about can really motivate you.
Try something different about
Podcast, manga, webcomics. poetry; literature comes in so many forms, try things out of your comfort zone and you might find something new that you like.

A Bonus tip!
Interact with your books so reading can be a more active hobby. How? well do some notes on the sides or mark your favorite parts! Don't listen to people if they say that you should do that, it's your book so go ahead!
