These books are primarily written for the entertainment of their readers.

_{^{I love how fiction can transport readers to worlds familiar and unfamiliar. In fictional literature children can listen and look up easily because often these types of books can be really engaging and there is so much variety within this genre.}} ]]> 2022-03-01 04:12:44 UTC https://padlet.com/wsmith9399/dwp3waoqretroxy8/wish/2070759234 wsmith9399 https://padlet.com/wsmith9399/dwp3waoqretroxy8/wish/2070759541 A book that is wholly factual where all information provided in the book is verifiable.

_{^{I love how nonfiction can teach us about people and the world. Although I do feel that nonfiction is more challenging especially as a child it was sometimes hard for me to comprehend all the information. Read aloud of nonfiction will help kids listen and look up because the barrier of comprehension and vocabulary will be removed for them. The teacher can also pause and discuss the concepts and unfamiliar words for greater understanding.}} ]]> 2022-03-01 04:12:59 UTC https://padlet.com/wsmith9399/dwp3waoqretroxy8/wish/2070759541 wsmith9399 https://padlet.com/wsmith9399/dwp3waoqretroxy8/wish/2070760082 A form of fiction that contains at least one if not many deviations from natural physical law.

_{^{Fantasy is a genre that I have grown to love since childhood. It is amazing how some fantasy stories can transport you to a new world and how you can learn things about life through unrealistic story elements. This genre will definitely get students to listen and look up because of the unique storylines and elements that transport you to unknown places full of magic and wonder.}}]]> 2022-03-01 04:13:31 UTC https://padlet.com/wsmith9399/dwp3waoqretroxy8/wish/2070760082 wsmith9399 https://padlet.com/wsmith9399/dwp3waoqretroxy8/wish/2070760398 Fiction that although characters, storylines, and settings may be invented still takes place in the world as we know it (reality).

_{^{Realistic Fiction has always been one of my favorite genre's. I love how through realistic fiction I can see myself and reflections of the world we live in. I think that this genre allows students to listen and look up because they can be engaged with a story that makes sense and relates to their own life which leaves less thinking about the unfamiliar worlds that fantasy creates.}} ]]> 2022-03-01 04:13:45 UTC https://padlet.com/wsmith9399/dwp3waoqretroxy8/wish/2070760398 wsmith9399 https://padlet.com/wsmith9399/dwp3waoqretroxy8/wish/2070760871 Stories that are often passed down through oral tradition with the creators of the stories being unknown. Due to this the authors of these books are not authors but collectors of these stories.

_{^{Folktales are stories that have been passed down from generation to generation and adapted/rewritten so many times. I love this genre because children can share the love of these true classic stories with the adults in their life who also grew up listening and reading to these stories.}} ]]> 2022-03-01 04:14:12 UTC https://padlet.com/wsmith9399/dwp3waoqretroxy8/wish/2070760871 wsmith9399 https://padlet.com/wsmith9399/dwp3waoqretroxy8/wish/2070761431 Modern Fantasy is any original fantasy story written by an  identifiable author.

_{^{Modern Fantasy in my opinion is one of the best genre's for children. Many kids love reading about magical worlds, alternate universes, and all things creative. This genre is great for getting students to listen and look up because they can be transported to new world and fall in love with the stories.}} ]]> 2022-03-01 04:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/wsmith9399/dwp3waoqretroxy8/wish/2070761431 wsmith9399 https://padlet.com/wsmith9399/dwp3waoqretroxy8/wish/2070761807 In Science Fiction the story elements that are not found in our world are justified by the "science" in the universe in the story.

_{^{Science fiction is a genre that I have always felt drawn to because of it explains the out of this world story elements or character's with untested science in the story. The only problem I have with this genre is I have not found many amazing science fiction books in children's literature. I would love to see more stories written in this genre so children can experience the worlds created in sci-fi literature.}}]]> 2022-03-01 04:15:02 UTC https://padlet.com/wsmith9399/dwp3waoqretroxy8/wish/2070761807 wsmith9399 https://padlet.com/wsmith9399/dwp3waoqretroxy8/wish/2070762094 A fictional story about people in our world that takes place in the past or happened previously.

_{^{History has always been a favorite subject of mine, likewise historical fiction is a favorite genre. Learning about history and what life is like in different time periods through the imagined stories is interests me. Books in this genre are great for read aloud because there are many opportunities to pause and learn about history with your students through the context of the story.}}

_{^{When we read about people in our world although imagined those characters fell real and can create many great moments for readers. I love reading about people who have similar and different life experiences because I can learn about the world.}} ]]> 2022-03-01 04:16:00 UTC https://padlet.com/wsmith9399/dwp3waoqretroxy8/wish/2070762921 wsmith9399 https://padlet.com/wsmith9399/dwp3waoqretroxy8/wish/2070763309 Tells the story of an actual person's life. It can be written by that person (autobiography) or by another person using research and reliable sources to back up the information.

_{^{Biography is honestly not my favorite genre of children's literature. As a child and sometimes even now I struggle to stay motivated to read about one persons life. I think children can listen and look up if the book is well written and the story of the persons life is told in language appropriate for the students.}} ]]> 2022-03-01 04:16:23 UTC https://padlet.com/wsmith9399/dwp3waoqretroxy8/wish/2070763309 wsmith9399 https://padlet.com/wsmith9399/dwp3waoqretroxy8/wish/2070763501 Traditionally labeled as "nonfiction" in adult literature, informational titles are books that inform the reader on any subject. As with all nonfiction all information is also backed up with credible sources and documentation.

_{^{Out of the nonfiction genre I definitely prefer informational books. As a future educator I am a lover of learning so I love a book that is well written story that teaches readers about real people, events, places, etc.}} ]]> 2022-03-01 04:16:33 UTC https://padlet.com/wsmith9399/dwp3waoqretroxy8/wish/2070763501
