Why Teaching Fiction Matters

For students, fiction is everywhere! In the classroom, in the library, on the television, on their devices. Teaching how to navigate fictional text effectively in the classroom will allow students to practice their comprehension of fictional story structures in any environment. 

In this webinar, we will examine and experience the joy and engagement that fiction text brings to students while providing the key purposes for using it during instruction. You will acquire engaging strategies to use in the classroom immediately when teaching with fictional text.
