GENRE STUDY Narrative nonfiction gives factual information
by telling a true story.

• Narrative nonfiction authors present events in sequential, or

chronological, order. Doing so helps readers understand when
events happened and how they're connected.
• Narrative nonfiction often includes visuals, such as photos.

Captions help explain the photos and add details to the text.
• Texts written about events related to science or social studies

may also include words that are specific to the topic.
