Soon, you will be learning about text structure
• In order to understand text structure, we need to understand what the word structure means
![Page 3: How can knowing the word structure help me to be a better reader? An introduction.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bff31a28abf838cbc1f3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
-STRUCTA word root meaning “to build”
Many words, including structure, have this word root
All of these words are related to building

-STRUCTA word root meaning “to build”
Construct: to build
![Page 5: How can knowing the word structure help me to be a better reader? An introduction.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bff31a28abf838cbc1f3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

-STRUCT
Instruct: To teach
Sometimes, the meaning of the root is a little harder to see
How does this relate to the meaning of the root -STRUCT?
![Page 7: How can knowing the word structure help me to be a better reader? An introduction.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bff31a28abf838cbc1f3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
-STRUCT
Instruct: To teach
Sometimes, the meaning of the root is a little harder to see
Teaching is building knowledge. So, to instruct someone is to build their knowledge

Going back to structure
• We know that the root –STRUCT means to build
• The word structure has several meanings, all related to building
![Page 9: How can knowing the word structure help me to be a better reader? An introduction.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bff31a28abf838cbc1f3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
STRUCTURE
• A style of building• Example: a round structure
Or, a fancy structure

STRUCTUREHow could you describe the structure below? Write your answer. Remember to use the word “structure”!

STRUCTURE
Structure can also refer to the way that parts of things fit together
In science, you can learn about the structure of a flower
![Page 12: How can knowing the word structure help me to be a better reader? An introduction.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bff31a28abf838cbc1f3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
STRUCTURE
Structure can also refer to the way that parts of things fit together
Even though flowers are not built, they do have parts that fit together

STRUCTURESTRUCTURE
Structure can also refer to the way that parts of things fit together
Text can have a structure, too

Text Structure
When writers write, they use a structure to put ideas together. It’s as if writers are building the text!
![Page 15: How can knowing the word structure help me to be a better reader? An introduction.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bff31a28abf838cbc1f3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Text Structure
Learning about text structure helps us to see how a text is built
![Page 16: How can knowing the word structure help me to be a better reader? An introduction.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bff31a28abf838cbc1f3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Using a structure to make predictions
• Whether we are looking at real buildings or at texts, we can use a structure to help us make predictions
• Looking at the structure of something can help us to learn more about it
![Page 17: How can knowing the word structure help me to be a better reader? An introduction.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bff31a28abf838cbc1f3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Using structure
• Noticing the structure of a building can help us learn about it
• Looking at what the building is made of, where it is, and how it is built can help us to figure out what the building is for
![Page 18: How can knowing the word structure help me to be a better reader? An introduction.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bff31a28abf838cbc1f3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Using structure
• What does the structure of this building tell you?
• What can you learn about this building when you look at the structure?
![Page 19: How can knowing the word structure help me to be a better reader? An introduction.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bff31a28abf838cbc1f3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Using structure
• What does the structure of this building tell you?
• What can you learn about this building when you look at the structure?
![Page 20: How can knowing the word structure help me to be a better reader? An introduction.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bff31a28abf838cbc1f3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Using structure
• When we look at a text, we can think about it the same way
• What words does the author use? How are the words put together?
• Answering these questions can help us figure out the main ideas in the text
