- Many teachers assume that a student who can read narrative texts well will be able to read expository texts well.
- Many students have problems comprehending expository text because they can’t see the basic structure of text. (Dymock,2005)
- Text comprehension is improved when students can recognize the underlying structure of text (Williams, 2005).
- “Awareness" of text structure helps students understand global ideas, or main theses (Seidenberg, 1989;Weaver & Kintsch, 1991)
- Students are more likely to remember and interpret the ideas they encounter when they read.
What to teach?
