Elementary genre biography poster board

Help students identify a variety of genres with this free set of genre posters from The Curriculum Corner.

These free genre posters that were created by The Curriculum Corner can be used as a new, free teaching resource in your classroom.

You might choose to print on your poster maker at school.

Or, laminate and place at a literacy center when needed as a reference.

A great way to teach your students all the different genres that they should be reading is by explicitly teaching them those genres. Then, give them a visual with examples to help them classify the texts they are reading.

As an activity, you might place two or three genre posters at a center along with a basket of books you have selected.

Ask the students to sort the books to match each poster. We often find that sorting a basket of books can encourage discussions and teamwork.

You might also choose to place a genre poster at a writing center when students are being asked to write a certain genre.
