Topic: Text Structures
From: Sylvia Bergeson, Teacher Librarian - Southeast Elem, Ankeny

My fifth grade teachers are using the book Nonfiction Matters by Stephanie Harvey. They want books that show text structures as described by the book. I searched several sites and google searched. I found a few, but nothing all encompassing. If you have a booklist pre-made, can you share? These structures are:

Cause and effect
Problem and solution
Question and answer
Comparison and contrast
Description
Sequence
