COMMON
TEXT
STRUCTURES
It is important to note that there is no
official list of text structures. Different
writers have different lists of text
structures. A nonfiction text can have
one overall text structure or several
different text structures.
What is a text structure?
A text structure refers to the internal organization of
a text. According to Meyer (1985), as authors write a
text a text to communicate an idea, they will use a
structure that goes along with the idea.
COMMON TEXT STRUCTURES
• Chronological Order • Problem-Solution
• Sequence • Compare-Contrast
• Cause-Effect • Exemplification/Classification
• Persuasion
Chronological order

is also known as time order.


This structure is organized
from one point in time to
another.
Sequence
Steps described in the order
they occur. It does not take
place in a specific point in
time.
Cause- Effect
This structure shows how one or
more causes led to one or more
effects. Many texts do not include
just one cause leading to one
effect– instead, there may be
several causes and several effects.
Problem- Solution
The text structure presents a
problem and shows how it can be
(or has been) solved. The key
difference between cause-effect
and problem-solution is that the
latter always presents a solution
while the former does not.
Compare- Contrast
This text structure shows how two or
more ideas or items are similar or
different. The text may use a clustered
approach, with details about one topic
followed by details about the other. It
may also show an alternating
approach, with the author going back
between the two topics.
Exemplification
An exemplification paragraph
develops a general statement--the
topic sentence—with one or more
specific examples. A classification
paragraph divides things into
groups, classes, or categories. It
also organizes ideas into divisions
based on criteria or standards.
Persuasion

This text structure


convinces readers to
agree to an argument or
claim about a particular
topic.
How does text structure
help readers?
A well-written text guides the reader through the content.
Research shows that efficient searchers use the structure of
the text to help them find specific information and make and
interpret arguments. The structure of a text can helps
readers find answers to questions, as well. Text structure is
also an important component to summarizing. When readers
summarize, they need to reflect the text structure in the
summary.
