GENRE STUDY Informational texts give facts about a topic.
• Authors of informational texts may organize ideas by stating
a problem and explaining its solution. They may also present

ideas in sequential, or chronological, order to help readers
know when events happen and how they’re connected.

• Informational text authors may include narrative elements to
help readers relate to the text’s topic, and content-area words
that are specific to that topic.
