Target Skill: Author's Purpose
Authors have a reason or reasons for writing. This is called the author's purpose. The author's purpose for writing something is not always stated but students can determine the author's purpose by thinking about what the author wants readers to know.
Target Skill: Point of ViewOne way to figure out an author's point of view is to think about the words and phrases he or she uses. When authors say good things about a subject, that usually means they have a positive point of view about the subject. If they say poor things, that usually means that they have a negative point of view.Target Strategy: SummarizeStopping periodically to summarize, or retell the important information, is a good strategy to use for reading informational text. Minor details should NOT be included in a summary.One way to summarize is to first determine and list the main ideas, then put these main ideas together in one statement.Target Vocabulary
