Reading Non-Prose Text
These are pictures that give us information, show comparison and contrast, and indicate how things change over a period of
time. Non-prose materials summarize or supplement what have been presented in written text.
Non-prose reading consists of disconnected words and numbers instead of the sentences and paragraphs.

TABLES
Tables present a great deal of numerical information in a very clear and concise way, with very minimal space to occupy.
With the use of tables, it is very easy to explain to students if we would like to show them the significance of the data that we
