The only genres are Fiction and Non-fiction, everything else would be considered sub genres.
Fiction is broken into:
Realism - Reaslistic & Historical
Fantasy - Traditional
Non-fiction is broken into:
Biography, Autobiography, Expository Non-fiction, and Narrative Non-fiction.
Subjects and formats are commonly mistaken for genres.
Reflection:
I definitely had my genres and sub genres incorrect! I had never heard about low fantasies.This can help me when I have to organize my own library and will take your advice about setting up the library genres. I can also assist the Language Arts teachers with selecting books for their classroom by genre and help further assist with more specific subjects and formats.
