Children's brain activity looks different whether they are reading narrative or informational text--no surprise that classroom research suggests our instruction for these genres should be different too (e.g., purposes established for reading, text structures taught, ?s asked...)
"These findings, for the first time, revealed the important relationships of early reading for pleasure with subsequent brain and cognitive development and mental well-being"

"As a field, we can advocate for particular research-supported instructional practices without denigrating other research-supported instructional practices."
All elements of literacy instruction are important.
