Non-Fiction Text Structures organizes information into comprehensible patterns. Knowing how to recognize and use these structures to navigate non-fiction text greatly improves students’ understanding of what they read.
Gail Saunders-Smith simplifies the process by providing teachers of grades 4-8 with:
ways to teach each of the five non-fiction text structures: compare/contrast, cause/effect, sequence/procedure, question/answer, and exemplification
engaging whole-class and small-group activities using written, verbal, image, three-dimensional, and technology responses
study skills for locating, recording, and using information
tools for assessing student understanding, and explanations of the text features that organize information within the text structures
and mini-lessons for whole-class, small-group, and independent application of students’ text structure knowledge.
Examples, photographs, student samples, and graphic organizers support your teaching, and a bibliography of professional books and resources for locating leveled non-fiction texts make this a complete, ready-to-use guide for improving student comprehension.
