Separating supporting points from main ideas is an important
reading skill. The organization of the supporting details will help you
understand how an author thinks. Detecting the patterns of organization of the
major and minor details can help with comprehension and retention.
Text structure is
how information is organized in writing. Text structures, or patterns of
organization, not only vary from writing to writing, but text structures may
also change frequently from paragraph to paragraph within a single piece of
writing. The importance of these patterns is that they signal how the facts
will be presented. They are blueprints for you to use.
