Celebrate Nonfiction

Exploring the Joy of Nonfiction Reading and Writing

Combining 5 Kinds of Nonfiction and #Disrupt Texts

Last
May, uber-fabulous librarian
Jennifer
LaGarde, aka Library Girl
, had a terrific idea. She wrote a series of
blog posts that bring together the ideology of
#DisruptTexts and the 5 Kinds of Nonfiction
classification system.

Her articles have received a lot of attention, but in case you haven’t had a chance
to read them, I wanted to highlight them here. They’ll definitely broaden your
thinking about the intersection of nonfiction books for young readers, equity
and inclusion, and librarianship. And if you’re a teacher, these posts can
inform your instruction too.

There are five articles in all–one focusing on each category in the 5 Kinds of Nonfiction classification system:

Traditional

Active

Narrative

Expository
Literature

Enjoy!
