Reading: Author's Purpose

This week, we are diving into Author's Purpose! That is, we are diving into "why" authors write different text. Below, you will find our class poster which shows three main reasons author's write text, a definition for what each reason really means, and some typical types of text where you can find examples of persuasive text, informational text, and entertaining text.

Students: Why did the author write YOUR independent reading book? How do you know? Remember, find details in the text as evidence to support your thinking.

Happy Reading!
