1 Goal: To encourage self-selected, independent reading among all students; to encourage wide reading across a variety of genres; to facilitate conversations about books throughout our school community. Each month, the school will highlight a different literary genre. Students will receive information about that genre via the morning announcements, the library, and bulletin boards/posters throughout the building. Students are encouraged to read at least one book (or have a book read aloud to them, when appropriate) from the genre during the month and complete a brief story map to share what they ve learned. K-1 students may draw pictures to help show what they ve learned. Students will submit the story maps to Mrs. Billingsley, SAES reading specialist, by the last school day of each month. All participants will be entered into a monthly raffle at each grade level for a $10 gift card to Barnes & Noble. Student book recommendations will also be shared over the morning announcements. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Billingsley at hbillingsley@hcps.us or PTA President Jennifer Sarych at sarychj@yahoo.com. We look forward to Diving into Reading with you and your child this year!
2 September 2015 REALISTIC FICTION What is realistic fiction? Realistic fiction is a form of fiction that accurately reflects life as it could be lived today. Everything in the story could happen to real people living in our natural physical word. Characters have normal human powers. The story may be set in real places, but the story is NOT based on history, nor does it contain elements of science fiction. Some of Mrs. Billingsley s favorite realistic fiction: Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst (picture book) Frindle by Andrew Clements Ramona Quimby, Age 8 by Beverly Cleary Hatchet by Gary Paulsen No David by David Shannon (picture book) Ivy & Bean by Annie Barrows The Talented Clementine by Sarah Pennypacker Story Map due to Mrs. Billingsley by September 30 October 2015
3 What is informational text? Informational books can also be called non-fiction books. Informational books must be accurate, authentic, up-to-date, factual, clearly organized, and include illustrations when needed. These books should avoid anthropomorphism, stereotypes and generalizations. Sub-genres include photo documentaries, narrative texts, how-to books, question and answer books, activity books, field guides/identification books, survey books, concept books and life-cycle books. Some of Mrs. Billingsley s favorite informational text: From Seed to Plant by Gail Gibbons (picture book) National Geographic Kids books by National Geographic A is for America: An American Alphabet by Devin Scillian (picture book) Who Would Win? Lion vs. Tiger by Jerry Pallotta Story Map due to Mrs. Billingsley by October 30. November 2015
4 What is historical fiction? Historical fiction is fiction that is based on historical events or people. Although some facts may be true, most of the story is fictionalized. It is a realistic story that takes place in a specific time in the past. It may be based on historical events and actual persons. Some of Mrs. Billingsley s favorite historical fiction: We the Kids by David Catrow (picture book) A Single Shard by Linda Sue Park A Year Down Yonder by Richard Peck The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick (Caledecott Medal 2008) The Sign of the Beaver by Elizabeth George Speare Story Map due to Mrs. Billingsley by November 30. December 2015
5 What is fantasy? Fantasy in fiction in which events occur outside of the ordinary laws that operate within the universe. Magic is central to the fantasy genre, and fantasy stories often involve journeys and quests. Some of Mrs. Billingsley s favorite historical fiction: The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss (picture book) The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling The Chronicles of Narnia series by C.S. Lewis The Kane Chronicles and Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan The Magic Treehouse series by Mary Pope Osborne James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl Charlotte s Web by EB White The Mouse and the Motorcycle by Beverly Cleary The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein (picture book) This is my favorite genre! It s hard to narrow down just a few! Mrs. B. Story Map due to Mrs. Billingsley by January 4, January 2016 Folktales What are folktales?? A folktale is a short story that has been passed down from generation to generation. Fairy tales, legends, tall tales, myths, and fables are all different kinds of folktales. Fairytales are short stories that feature fantasy characters such as fairies, elves, giants and mermaids.
6 Legends are semi-true stories that have been passed from person to person. Tall tales are stories that are exaggerated. The narrator often tries to tell you a true story that is obviously twisted or unbelievable. A myth is a made up story that explains the existence of a natural phenomenon- such as where thunder comes from or why snow falls from the sky. Myths often involve Gods and Goddesses. A fable is a short story that involves personified animals and teaches a lesson or moral. Some of Mrs. Billingsley s favorites: Stregna Nona by Tomie depaola (picture book) Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People s Ears by Verna Aardema (picture book) One Grain of Rice by Demi (picture book) Martina, the Beautiful Cockroach by Carmen Agra Deedy (picture book) Story Map due to Mrs. Billingsley by January 29, February 2016 What is a biography? Biographies are nonfiction. They are the true story of a real person s life that is written by another person. Some of Mrs. Billingsley s favorite biographies: Who Was Walt Disney? by Whitney Stewart (and all of the books in the Who Was series)
7 A Picture Book of Martin Luther King, Jr. by David Adler (and all of his picture books of famous Americans) Me Jane (Goodall) by Patrick McDonnell (picture book) Amelia and Eleanor Go For a Ride by Pam Munoz Ryan (picture book) Story Map due to Mrs. Billingsley by February 29, March 2016 What is a mystery? A mystery is a fictional story that contains a puzzling event or crime that is not solved until the end of the story to keep the reader in suspense. Mysteries are usually realistic in nature, meaning, they seem like they could happen to real people living today. Some of Mrs. Billingsley s favorite mysteries: The Mysterious Benedict Society series by Trenton Lee Stewart The 39 Clues series by Rick Riordan et al. Chasing Vermeer and The Wright 3 by Blue Balliett A Series of Unfortunate Events series by Lemony Snicket Encyclopedia Brown, Boy Detective series by Donald J. Sobol The Boxcar Children Mysteries by Gertrude Chandler Warner The Sisters Grimm: Fairytale Detectives series by Michael Buckley
8 Nancy Clancy series by Jane O Connor Nate the Great series by the Sharmats Story Map due to Mrs. Billingsley by March 31, April 2016 What is poetry? Poetry is a type of literature, or artistic writing, that attempts to stir a reader's imagination or emotions. The poet does this by carefully choosing and arranging language for its meaning, sound, and rhythm. Some poems, such as nursery rhymes, are simple and humorous. Other poems may try to express some truth about life, to tell a story, or to honor someone or something. Some of Mrs. Billingsley s favorite poetry collections: Love that Dog by Sharon Creech The Man Who Sang the Sillies by John Ciardi A Pizza the Size of the Sun by Jack Prelutsky Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein A Children s Garden of Verses by Robert Lewis Stevenson Story Map due to Mrs. Billingsley by April 29, 2016.
