Chapter 7 Realistic Fiction

Realistic fiction is one of the most relatable and popular genres for young readers to divulge themselves in. Realistic fiction is most realistic because the settings, characters, and events are likely to happen in real life however, these stories are fiction because the characters and events haven't happened.  Realistic fiction ranges from the pains and conflicts of growing up to the most cheerful, carefree, and humorous storylines. Children can benefit a lot from realistic fiction by gaining a better understanding of human problems and relationships. Realistic fiction also allows young readers to understand the world through a different perspective.
Realistic fiction can provide a gateway for students to connect to characters through Science, Math, and social Studies. Readers will find Social Studies more meaningful when they can connect to the characters that they have grown to know and care for, when reading about current events.
