#9 Teaching Text Structures

It wasn't long ago that Savannah saw teaching text structures as boring and something she needed to do just to check a box in her instruction.

But, once she understood the importance of text structures and the role they play in comprehension, she was sold.

In this podcast, Savannah shares all things text structures.  She discusses:

• the role text structures play as a kind of background knowledge
• the different kinds of nonfiction text structures (to include descriptive, sequence, problem/solution, cause and effect)
• tips for teaching text structures

Listen in and see how teaching text structures can make a difference in your classroom!
