The Kindergarten Learns About Genres

 

Literature is made up of many different genres.
We all know about Mysteries, Western, or Science Fiction, but for kindergartners, there are many more.
Each audio file is an example of one of the genres we study in class. The stories were read aloud to the children in class and now everyone can hear Mrs. Woodward, too.

Each file is presented as a mp3 file for your listening pleasure!
