1 Reading Reading instruction is divided into two main areas. Reading for information is actually used in all content areas and is the main reason that we learn to read! Thus the standards here focus more on reading non-fictional materials including primary sources, textbooks, and other forms of communication that are not considered literature. The other major area is literature where students learn about the different genres such as drama, science fiction, historical fiction, and poetry. Reading standards in both informational text and literary text cycle through all of the grade levels. Kindergarten Reading for Information 1.
