Teaching Genre Through Reading﻿

Teaching Genre Through Reading

7/30/2016

Genre is one of those topics that ALWAYS appears in testing! Doesn't matter what type of test - accelerated reader, NWEA Map, state, there will always be a question that relates to genre! It's also one of those topics that is very hard for students to memorize.

In our classrooms we don't so much as teach genre as we experience genre! These great posters are hanging up in the room and as we have small group one of the graphic organizers to work on skills is asking the students to identify the genre of the text we are working on.

Another great way that we experience genre is through daily check-ins. Prior to independent reading 4 or 5 students are asked what book they are reading, what page they are on, and what genre the text is. This is a great way to have the students experience genre in the moment. If the student is struggling (let's be honest, some books are HARD to classify....) the class turns to a shoulder partner to discuss the genre and then sticks are picked to call on someone.

You can get the genre posters for FREE by clicking HERE and the graphic organizers can be found at our Teachers Pay Teachers Store!

So glad you find the posters useful! I do not have matching book bin labels... might be something to think about for sure!

Hello, I would love to get a copy of your genre posters but when I click on the link it says, "Access Denied". Is there another way I can get them?
Thank you for your time,
Brenda

I also received an "access denied" message, but I just requested access and was promptly approved! Thank you so much, I plan to use these with my library lessons :)
