Written by a classroom teacher, this book provides an instructional approach to teaching students the structures of expository text in Grades 3?8. Using graphic organizers to visually depict the structures, the author takes a close look at seven patterns or structures: sequence, enumerative, compare/contrast, cause/effect and problem/solution, description, and question/answer. The book illustrates how to introduce children from Grades 3?8 to different text patterns or structures to assist them in both their reading and writing of expository text. Additional chapters examine the reading/writing connection; signal words; and essay writing. Designed as a teacher resource tool, lesson approaches, text samples and evaluation tools are provided as blackline masters in the book.

In this study, direct instruction of nonfiction text structures and its effect on reading comprehension of second grade students is examined. This study took place in an upper class elementary school with a large student population. The test sampling, gathered from two second grade classrooms, included two high, two medium, and two below grade level students. In addition, six English Language Learners (ELL) ranging from generally nonverbal to moderately proficient English speakers participated in the study. The teaching strategy consisted primarily of whole class direct instruction to define, teach and identify eighteen specific text structures of expository material. The study was conducted over the course of six months. The evaluation strategy consisted of pre and post assessments. Prior to and following instruction the students were given a teacher-made visual test, in a multiple choice format, of the eighteen structures. These assessments assisted in determining the students' initial ability to identify and define the text structures. A pre and post Independent Reading Inventory (IRI) or Running Record was also administered to help assess the students' reading accuracy and comprehension of expository text. All students showed improved text structure identification and increased reading comprehension. It was concluded from this study that direct instruction of specific nonfiction text structures can improve comprehension of expository text. In order to determine the longevity of sustaining these positive results, future assessment and analysis are indicated.

Poetry is a joyful art form, but how do you teach students to joyfully read, analyze, and write poems? In Text Structures from Poetry, Grades 4-12, award-winning educator Gretchen Bernabei teams up with noted poet Laura Van Prooyen to light the path. Centered around 50 classroom-proven lesson and poem pairs, the mentor texts represent a broad range of voices in contemporary poetry and the canon. These unique and engaging lessons show educators how to "pop the hood" on a poem to discover what makes it work, using text structures to unlock the engine of a poem. This method enables educators to engage students in reading and re-reading a poem closely, to identify how the parts of the poem relate to each other to create movement, and to leverage what they have learned to write their own evocative poems. Each of the 50 lessons includes a mentor poem that serves as an excellent model for young writers, a diagram that illustrates the text structure of the poem, and several inspiring examples of student poems written to emulate the mentor poem. Easy-to-use instructional resources enhance instructor and student understanding and include: Teaching notes for unlocking the text structure of a poem and the engine that makes it work. Tips for exploring rhyme scheme, meter, and fixed forms. Instructional sequences that vary the ways students can read and write poems and other prose forms. Ideas for revising and publishing student poems. A "Meet the Contemporary Authors" section that includes fascinating messages from the contemporary poets. Teach your students to learn about poetry using the magic of poems themselves and lead the way to a rewarding love of poetry for teachers and students alike.

Non-fiction text structures organize 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.
