One of my goals this year was to encourage our students to discuss genre more frequently. I started the year with these posters to create a display board about genre and included some author info posters and photos of students holding books they enjoy, along with some written bits and pieces from pupils about books they recommend, books they want to read this year, etc. Later on, I moved these posters to my classroom and added mini-posters to our library door. Tip: print the questions/title (Which genre do you enjoy?) on coloured paper to stand out.

In addition to the display boards, I organised a large portion of our library books into book baskets by genre and authors (with laminated labels). I also have my Year Five and Six pupils record books they read on a card where they have to write down what genre the books are. Additionally my Year Five reading challenge is centred around genres (rockets reading challenge: each planet represents a genre; read a book, write a book review and get genre ticked off on individual rocket).

Hope you can use some/all of the resources!
