Text Structure Sort
The Text Structure Sort generator creates mixed-structure informational passages where students identify which text structure is used (sequence, cause/effect, compare/contrast, or problem/solution), justify their choice with signal words, and explain how the structure affects meaning. This metacognitive reading practice is essential for Grades 4–8 as students analyse increasingly complex non-fiction. Answer key and teacher guide included.
