5 Types of Informative Text Structures and Why Authors Use Different Text Structures

5 Types of Informational Text Structures + Why Authors Use Different Text Structures| Grades 6-8 ELA Bundle (Common Core Aligned)

Help your students stop just memorizing text structures and start understanding them.

This bundle takes learners beyond simple identification into real analytical thinking: not just "what structure is this?" but "why did the author choose it, and what effect does it have on me as a reader?" That's exactly the kind of reasoning the STAAR Reading Language Arts test expects.

What's Inside?

• Full-color, Canva-style slide decks - 5 Types of Informational Text Structures and Why Authors Use Different Text Structures covering Description, Sequence/Process, Cause & Effect, Compare & Contrast, and Problem & Solution

• STAAR-style reading assessment with one original passage, rigor-matched multiple-choice + a short constructed-response question

Who it's for:
