Kinds and Genres of Books
There are two main types of reading material: fiction and non-fiction. Both
types may be further divided into genres. A genre is simply a fancy name for a
group of books which share style, form, or content.
Non-fiction
All of the information in a non-fiction book is based on the known true facts.
Nothing can be made up. Non-fiction books include how-to books, science
books, history books, biographies, autobiographies and much more. Non-fiction
books can be about any subject.
Biography
A biography is the story of a real person’s life, written or told by another
person.
Autobiography
An autobiography is the story of a real person’s life, written or told by that
person.
Fiction
Fictional stories may be based on actual events or people or may be based
entirely on the author’s imagination, but fictional stories all contain elements
that are made-up or created by the author.
Realistic Fiction
Fictional stories that take place in modern time, right here and now. The
characters are involved in events that could really happen.
Mystery/Suspense
Fictional stories, usually realistic, about a mysterious event which is not
explained or a crime that is not solved until the end of the story to keep the
reader in suspense.
Fantasy
Fiction that contains elements that are NOT realistic, such as talking animals,
magical powers, etc. Make-believe is what this genre is all about.
Science Fiction
Stories which include futuristic technology; a blend of scientific fact and
fictional elements.
Historical Fiction
Stories which take place in a particular time period in the past. Often the basic
setting is real, but the characters are fictional.
Folk Tales (    ), Tall Tales ( ), and Fairy Tales ( )
Folk tales are stories with no known creator. They were originally passed
down from one generation to another by word of mouth. The authors on folk tale
books today are retelling these stories. Although, folk tales are sometimes based
on real historical figures, there are fictional elements to the story. Tall tales are
generally folk tales in which the main character is bigger than life in some way -
- examples would be Paul Bunyan, Illya Muromets, etc. Fairy tales were often
created to teach children behavior in an entertaining way.
Myths
Myths are stories that usually explain something about the world and involve
gods and other supernatural beings.
Poetry
Poetry is verse written to create a response of thought and feeling from the
reader. It often uses rhythm and rhyme to help convey its meaning
