Reading fiction is a little different from reading nonfiction. Fiction doesn't have things like bold headings and subheadings or charts and pictures to help you understand what you're reading.

Here are some questions you should ask as you read fiction:

  • Who are the main characters?
  • What is the setting - when and where does this story take place?
  • What is happening in this scene/chapter/story?
  • What is the mood that the author is trying to show?
  • What is the author's point?
  • What theme or main idea might the author be trying to show?
With historical fiction, you might also ask what historical facts are shared in the story, and what in the story isn't a verifiable fact.
