Introduction
What is text structure? It’s how the information written in a text is organized. Learning to identify text structure as a reader can greatly improve the comprehension of the material. Learning to identify text structure from the prospective of a writer can help you learn how to become a better writer.
Picture books make great mentor texts for teaching the six basic types of text structure: cause and effect, compare and contrast, sequence, enumeration, problem and solution, and description. I just know you’re going to love using some of these beloved books to teach truly powerful lessons.
