UNIT 3 Reading Strategy: Understanding Text Structure: Patterns of Organization (p.64) Patterns of organization are structures that writers use to arrange and present ideas in a clear and logical way. Recognizing these patterns helps readers understand and remember the material better. It’s common to see a couple of patterns of organization used within a single text to enhance clarity and depth. By identifying how a text is organized, readers can predict what kind of information will follow and how it relates to what they’ve already read. Here are some common patterns of organization: 1. Chronological Order: Presents information in the order it occurred in time 2. Cause and Effect: Explains reasons something happened (cause) and the results (effect) 3. Compare and Contrast: Highlights similarities and differences between two or more subjects 4. Problem and Solution: Identifies a problem and proposes one or more solutions 5. Topical Order: Divides a subject into sections or categories, each discussed separately 6. Order of Importance: Arranges information according to its significance, either from most important to least important or vice versa Signal Words for Patterns of Organization Patterns Signal Words Chronological Order first, next, then, finally, after, before, during, later, now, when, since, … Cause and Effect because, since, as a result, therefore, thus, consequently, due to, this led to… Compare and Contrast similarly, likewise, in contrast, however, but, yet, on the other hand, while, … Problem and Solution problem, issue, solution, resolve, solve, address, fix, answer, remedy, prevention, … Topical Order for example, for instance, additionally, furthermore, moreover, in addition, specifically, … Order of Importance most importantly, primarily, significantly, above all, chiefly, first, second, finally, least importantly… Using these signal words as guides, readers can more easily follow the structure of the text and improve their comprehension and memory of the information. 148 I Reading & Writing Strategies
