Text Structure Matters

• Authors make intentional decisions about how to structure a text based on their purpose and audience and the meaning they want to convey.

• When readers know what kind of structure to expect, it helps them connect to and remember what they’ve read better.

• It gives readers clues as to what is most important in the text.

• It helps readers summarize the text.
