But, once she understood the importance of text structures and the role they play in comprehension, she was sold.
In this podcast, Savannah shares all things text structures. She discusses:
- the role text structures play as a kind of background knowledge
- the different kinds of nonfiction text structures (to include descriptive, sequence, problem/solution, cause and effect)
