Non-Fiction Text Structure

Fourth grade students have been reviewing and learning about the five main non-fiction text structures. These structures are not only used in non-fiction, but are also found in fiction works and some poems. Fourth graders learned to identify and analyze description, compare and contrast, problem and solution, cause and effect, and sequence/chronological texts. These classroom anchor charts remind students of the organization of information and the key words often found in each text structure. Both elements help readers identify a text’s structure.
