In this reading game, students will jump a character as it runs through an obstacle course.  If the student misses a jump, a text structure reading question will appear.  If the student answers the question correctly he/she will be able to continue.  The question is missed, the character loses a try.  Three tries lost, ends the game. After every mile the speed increases.  The goal is to run 10 miles without missing three questions. Structures asked about are: Sequence, Compare and Contrast, Problem/Solution, Cause/Effect, Description, Chronology/Timeline

This worksheet is a scavenger hunt that students can use to learn and relearn the knowledge of expository text features.  In the worksheet, students will find titles of diagrams, titles of charts, captions, keywords, bullet points, illustrations, table of contents, glossary, sidebars, titles, subtitles, and maps.

I use the Scholastic News with this worksheet, but it could work with any magazine type.

In this bundle of resources, students will be exposed to reading the different types of expository text: description, sequence, compare and contrast, caused and effect.
