Biography is a genre that can sometimes easily be neglected in classrooms with regards to informational text studies. The key to getting students excited about a study of biographies is to have many relevant and appropriately leveled texts for all of your various readers. You might even want to think about having a class discussion or present an interest inventory to find out who your students might be interested in learning about.

Once you know their interests, take some time to visit your school and local libraries. Add to your book basket by picking up some favorites at your favorite used bookstore or ordering from Amazon. You will keep interest and engagement high if students are reading about people who are relevant to their interests and lives. Be sure your collection of biographies includes a variety of options.
