Text Structures
Each printable text structure activity provides six short passages and a worksheet for (1) identifying each passage’s text structure (chronological, compare and contrast, cause and effect, sequence, problem and solution) and (2) completing a related graphic organizer. There are also answer keys and suggested reading grade level ranges: 5-9, 6-10, or 7-11.
