Fictional literature refers to plot, setting, and characters from the imagination. We read, listen, and/or watch for fun. One example is a story with a talking elephant or other events that could not possibility occur in real life. A second example is a story about a character going to school, BUT the character is not real.

Comprehension is the understanding and interpretation of what is read, creating meaning. This is the ultimate goal of reading.

Non-Fictional literature is based on real individuals and events that actually happened. We read, listen, and/or watch for information. Examples include learning about the butterfly’s life cycle, or the life of George Washington.
