If young students primarily read literary texts (narrative fiction), their reading skills will develop across genres. In other words, reading fiction helps students read informational texts better.
2. Teachers should consider genre when selecting texts to ensure that students receive instruction and practice across different genres.
3. In early elementary classrooms, students have access to and read far fewer informational texts than literary ones. This trend is more pronounced in classrooms with a higher percentage of students from low socio-economic backgrounds and from minority groups.]]> 2021-07-14 09:40:05 UTC https://padlet.com/havranmarie/xl5dbzq6fq4cxxvb/wish/1649265607 2 Truths and a Lie (Ghevont) https://padlet.com/havranmarie/xl5dbzq6fq4cxxvb/wish/1649427403 1.

3.
