Non-Fiction vs Fiction

We have been learning about the difference between Non-Fiction and Fiction texts. Together, we came up with this checklist to help us figure out whether the book we are reading is a fiction text or a non-fiction one.

You can try this at home when reading with or to your child. Does the book contain real information, table of contents, real pictures? If so, it may be a Non-Fiction text. Does it contain characters, settings, make-believe stories or drawn pictures? It might be a Fiction text!
