Story types and reading styles

In this lesson, you’ll learn all about genre – the type or style of story you’re reading. You’ll learn how stories can be grouped, how we can identify particular features or clues that belong to certain story genres. And you’ll discover how you can use genre to find more stories you’ll love to read – and maybe write too!
