The genre of this book is informational, it emphasizes facts and is all about slopestyle snowboarding. The engaging images accompany information about snowboarding with intense action, vivid design, bold words for difficult or new vocabulary, and even contains a glossary at the end of the book. I would use this book with the 'Scanning' reading strategy, where I would flip through the pages before reading it and have students form ideas and locate specific information concerning this sport. I would also have students summarize this book, condensing the most important ideas and information from the text onto a poster they create to share with the class.
