Description
Take your classroom library to the next level by using genre labels! These genre labels for your classroom library explain what each is! We often believe our students understand the genre types, but it is clear they need more reminders. What a better place than right on your classroom library?
The set contains both thin (for book trays) and larger (for book bins) labels in both color and black and white. That means you can print in color or print on colored paper.
The labels are colored by categories; the black and white versions can be printed on colored paper to meet your needs. We’ve included a few “weird” genres, based on the books striving middle school students read, such as Sports Information or Sports Fiction.
These terms are used:
Genres: The main divisions of texts: fiction, nonfiction or informational, argumentative, poetry (colored teal)
Subgenres:
Nonfiction (colored gray): argumentative, humor (true or collections, such as a riddle book), (true) adventure, informational, narrative nonfiction, autobiography, biography, memoir, reference, (true) mystery, science information, history information, sports information, persuasive (can also go with argumentative genre), essay, speech
Fiction (colored green): fantasy, realistic fiction, science fiction, historical fiction, adventure, traditional literature, tall tale, fable, fairy tale, legend, myth, sports fiction, mystery, humor, thriller / crime, classics, series
Formats: The organization of the text; these can be fiction or nonfiction genres: poetry, novel, graphic novel, picture book, poetry, reference, short story, drama (colored blue)
