Third grade readers are learning to become stronger readers of biography. As you may know, each genre has its own characteristics that readers need to be able to understand in order to best understand the text. For example, third graders have learned that biographies are nonfiction. They are true stories of a person's life.
In addition, third graders have learned:
*Biography is a type of nonfiction that is narrative. That means that biographies are told as a story.
*Similar to fiction stories that we have read, biographies have a main character, but this character is a real person. The main character in a biography is the subject of the biography.
Ask your child who is the subject of the biography they are reading! Maybe you can learn about that person together.
Happy reading!
