What children learn in Level 59
- Text features are the helpers around the words: chapter titles, diagrams, charts, and timelines.
- Structure is how the ideas are organized, like time order, cause and effect, compare and contrast, or problem and solution.
- They work together. A time order book suits a timeline. A compare book suits a two-column chart. Chapter titles can name each problem.
