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
