Genre Study: Teaching with Fiction and Nonfiction Books is the foundational text of the Genre Study Suite.

It is through using genre understandings that your students think, talk, and read texts with deeper understanding, and write effectively. Genre Study is a professional resource that teachers can use with students to embark on an exciting exploration into the study of genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource for Teachers and Literacy Coaches

C.G. · March 7, 2016

The district in which I work utilizes Lucy Calkins' Units of Study in Reading. This text compliments the Units of Study in Reading very, very nicely. It provides additional information around genres that not all teachers possess (or understand). Perfect resource for educators and literacy coaches.
