Authors may want to share information, to have readers think or act in a certain way, or to share a story.

Authors write in different ways for different audiences. For example, a text written for very young children would have shorter sentences and simpler language than a text written for adults. Students should ask themselves these questions as they think about the author’s purpose and the intended audience: Why did the author write this? Who does the author want to read this?

Practice identifying the author’s purpose and intended audience as they read an opinion essay called Let’s Build a Park!

An author’s purpose is usually to inform, to entertain, or to persuade. Identifying the author’s purpose helps readers to understand and analyze the author’s ideas.

Authors think about who will read a text so they can write in a way their audience can understand. Authors choose words, examples, and messages that are familiar, so readers can focus on the purpose of the text.

Guide students to recognize that, for example, an author would write more complex sentences and use more advanced vocabulary in a text that scientists will read. The author of a text about the same topic that is intended for third graders would use more simple sentences that explain key words.

Practice identifying the author’s purpose and intended audience to gain a deeper understanding of Farmer Will Allen and the Growing Table.

It is important to stop throughout their reading to make a prediction about what might happen next and then confirm if their prediction was correct as they read on. Good readers make, correct, and confirm predictions throughout their reading to better understand what is happening in the text.

Making predictions means taking a guess about what will happen in a text based on the title, illustrations, or headings in the text. As readers learn more, they may need to correct or adjust their predictions. After reading, students can confirm their predictions, or see if their guesses were correct.

Authors use a text structure that supports their purpose for writing and the information they are presenting.

Problem/ Solution - Explain that in a biography, authors often describe problems the person faced and how he or she dealt with the problems.

The author’s purpose in a biography is to tell what makes a person interesting or unusual. How a person responds to a problem gives readers insight into what the person is like.

Reading about the solution of the problem reveals more about why the person is special or unique.

Identifying a text’s structure can help them better understand information in the text. Practice identifying text structure in Farmer Will Allen and the Growing Table.

# data[].attributes.body
Draw attention to the question: Who is telling the story?

The narrator is the person telling the story. When a text is told in first-person point of view, the narrator is a character in the story. When a text is told in third-person point of view, the narrator is a person outside the text. In each case, refer back to the Anchor Chart to identify key words that signal the type of narrator.

In real life the description of an event may be very different depending on who is telling the story. Offer an example of a recent event told from an adult point of view, and then describe the same event from a student’s point of view.

Students that they might tell a story or think about events differently than a narrator. Readers do not always agree with everything that people do or say in a text.

Practice identifying point of view in Farmer Will Allen and the Growing Table.
