Genre


I designed two matching drills to practice genre. In the first exercise all you need to do is to cut and if desirable laminate for durability. The child has to match the given name accordingly with the picture which best describe the meaning.

The second exercise the student has to draw a line to match the given name with the meaning.


The worksheet is available for free on TPT, to download your free copy just click on the following link:

Have a great weekend :))).

Genre

Today was a great day, we studied genre. I printed out on Teachers pay Teachers website the genre label to stick on my little library I have at home. The labels are: fairy tale, folktale, realistic fiction, poetry, fantasy, mystery, non-fiction,  biography, autobiography and historical fiction.

I read the labels aloud to my son and explained each one of it to him and also gave examples of books we read. Afterwards, I placed a few books on the table and asked him to label. He was very good in sorting the books out, I was impressed :))). 


Subsequently, I rearrange our library. I asked my son to arrange the books according to the label. It seems that he loves fantasy books :)).



We did not have any book about biography, autobiography and historical fiction which we have to go to our local library and borrow. If you have any suggestions of books please inform me.

I also want to introduce narrative genre to him, I would love to know if you have any suggestion of books I could show him.

Have a terrific day.
