Genres


4th grade classes will be spending the next few weeks talking about genres in fiction. A genre is a type or style of writing. There are so many amazing genres to read in the library. They range from Adventures and Mysteries to Fantasy and Science Fiction, Historical Fiction and Humor. I have always loved a good Mystery. As an elementary student, I couldn't get enough Mysteries! Trixie Belden was my favorite.  Now that I am older, I am really intrigued by Historical Fiction.  I am sure my interest will change as I continue to be an avid read.  It is a good thing there are plenty of genres to keep me busy!  What is your favorite genre?
