Text Structure Levels

This progressive worksheet guides students through five passages of increasing complexity to practice identifying text structures. Each passage varies in length and vocabulary, encouraging learners to use contextual and signal-word clues. As difficulty rises, students refine their ability to distinguish between structures like cause/effect, chronological, and descriptive forms. The scaffolded format promotes gradual mastery and confidence in analyzing informational writing.
