Awareness of Four Text Structures: Effects on Recall of Expository Text.

Richgels, Donald; And Others

Reading Research Quarterly, v22 n2 p177-96 Spr 1987

Reveals high awareness of comparison/contrast structure and low awareness of causation structure. Supports the hypothesis that structure-aware students are more likely to use a structural strategy when reading than unaware students. Reveals that sixth graders have some text structure knowledge and may be promising candidates for instruction in how to process expository text strategically. (NKA)
