- Title
Using Science Texts to Foster Informational Reading Comprehension.
- Authors
Detillion, Ron
- Abstract
In this article, I showcase an informational text reading comprehension unit that centers on text features commonly found in science textbooks. I taught this unit to a sixth‐grade class and highlighted the work samples of three focal students here. The overarching question that guided this work was as follows: How can I focus my instruction on three common text structures in informational texts: compare and contrast, cause and effect, and description? Moreover, I show how students' interaction with informational texts, such as engaging activities, note‐taking, and vocabulary, aided in comprehension.
