Literacy Land is a programme seeking, amongst other things, to teach
children about different genres. The aim of Genre
Range is to help
children enjoy and understand a wide range of genres.
Within each genre, the books contain multiple
examples of the particular form to reinforce children’s understanding
of the text type and the variety that is available both
within and across text types. Click on the covers to see
actual size pictures.
