📚 Quick Study Guide: Fiction vs. Non-Fiction for Kindergarteners

  • Fiction books are made-up stories. They come from someone's imagination! Think about talking animals or magic powers.
  • 🌍 Non-fiction books tell us true facts and information. They teach us about real things in the world, like animals, planets, or how things work.
  • ❓ To tell the difference, ask yourself: "Could this really happen in real life?" If no, it's probably fiction!
  • ✔️ Also ask: "Does this book teach me something true or give me real information?" If yes, it's non-fiction!
  • ✍️ Look for words like "story," "pretend," "characters," and "imagine" often found in fiction books.
  • 💡 Look for words like "facts," "true," "learn," and "information" often found in non-fiction books.
