Connect FICTION WITH NONFICTION for Deeper Learning!
LitLinks is a collection of titles from Gareth Stevens Publishing that inspires student inquiry and invites critical thinking with paired fiction and nonfiction texts. The familiar format of fiction introduces a topic and gives the reader confidence
to explore and compare its nonfiction counterpart. These paired sets, along with a comprehensive reader resource guide, let students demonstrate what they have learned from blending together narrative and expository elements.
LitLinks paired fiction and nonfiction:
- Provides opportunities for students to analyze and compare different perspectives
- Develops critical reading and comprehension skills
- Supports thinking across texts by illustrating how different authors treat the same topic
- Builds background knowledge, a wider range of vocabulary, and enhances readers’ comprehension of a specific topic
- Contrasts craft and structure of fiction with craft and structure of informational texts
