  • Avoid stereotypes in realistic fiction
  • Students should learn something from the theme of the book
  • Newer realistic fiction books have a wider variety of subjects that were once taboo, such as death, divorce, sexual abuse/assault, homosexuality, etc.

    I would like to find a place where there are lists of books to help students with various situations, such as: divorce of parents, death of a parent or family member,  moving,  friendships,  and other topics important to children.     ]]>     2017-04-05 17:31:16 UTC https://padlet.com/hetyrrell/yoxmuujkrth7/wish/164955536     Sharing Realistic Fiction with Others: hetyrrell https://padlet.com/hetyrrell/yoxmuujkrth7/wish/164956812
  • Students:  Different realistic fiction titles can be shared through book talks, book trailers, and by one another.  Many times if  a teacher or librarian recommends a book to a student and they enjoy it, they will recommend it to a friend, classmate, or sibling.
  • Parents:  Newsletter,  websites, and blogs can share new and favorite realistic fiction books to parents.  
  • Teachers and Staff: The librarian can share realistic fiction books that can be used in lessons, for read-alouds, or other purposes through blogsites,  collaboration, and the librarians staff newsletter.
