Check understanding
- Identify the organisational structure of two texts on the same topic
- Explain how one text uses cause/effect while another uses problem/solution to present information
- Analyse why an author chose a particular structure for their informational text
“If your child reads two non-fiction texts about the same topic that are organised differently — one in time order and one comparing two sides — can they describe those structural differences and explain how each one shapes the reader's experience?”
