How to Pick a Book Part 6

Before selecting books, students should think about the genre. By making connections between the genre of the book they are selecting and other books they have read or heard in the same genre, they can better understand what to expect in this book. If the book is a fantasy, they will expect things to happen which they have not experienced happening in their own lives. If the book is a biography, they will expect to read facts and interesting details of the person's life.
