“…Common text structures include description, sequence, problem/solution, cause/effect, and compare/contrast (Meyer, 1985) (see Figure 2). To make things more complex, young readers may encounter more than one of these structures in a single selection of text, requiring them to transition back and forth between different structures (Chambliss & Calfee, 1989). But even with these ''inconsiderate texts'' (Armbruster & Anderson, 1984;Kantor, Anderson, & Armbruster, 1983), children appear to benefit from explicit instruction in text structure (Baumann & Bergeron, 1993;Hall et al, 2005;Williams et al, 2005).…”
