Rothery's genres
Beverly Rothery's identification of text genres used in school literacy instruction, including narratives, procedurals, reports, explanations, and arguments.
Real World
When a primary teacher asks pupils to write a recount of their school trip, they are scaffolding Rothery's Narrative genre, guiding children through orientation, complication, and resolution structure.
Exam Focus
Name the genre and its structural stages; simply calling text 'descriptive' or 'informative' without Rothery's labels loses AO1 marks.
