In order to read and write a variety of text forms, students need to be exposed to and taught about those forms from an early age. This book lists the purpose, description, and key elements of many fiction and nonfiction text forms, from “Advertisements” to “Traditional Tales.” Other chapters describe how various text forms fit into the reading and writing curriculum and how authors use techniques to set the tone of a text. The book ends with the purpose, description, and elements of common text features, such as “Acknowledgments,” “Charts,” and “Title Pages.”
