Identifying the author's purpose represents a fundamental reading comprehension skill that Grade 6 students must master to become critical thinkers and analytical readers. Wayground's comprehensive presentation collection provides educators with expertly designed resources that deliver structured instruction on recognizing whether authors write to inform, persuade, entertain, or explain. These presentations utilize concept explanation through visual learning elements, breaking down complex analytical processes into digestible components that help students understand how textual evidence, word choice, and organizational patterns reveal an author's underlying intentions. Through systematic visual learning approaches, students develop the analytical framework necessary to distinguish between different purposes across various text types, from persuasive advertisements to informational articles and narrative fiction. Wayground's extensive library draws from millions of teacher-created resources, offering educators powerful search and filtering capabilities to locate presentations that align with specific curriculum standards and learning objectives for identifying author's purpose instruction. The platform's differentiation and customization tools enable teachers to modify presentation content, pacing, and complexity levels to meet diverse student needs within their Grade 6 classrooms. These digital-first presentation resources support flexible delivery formats, allowing educators to seamlessly integrate author's purpose instruction into whole-group lessons, small group interventions, or independent learning stations. Teachers can leverage these comprehensive presentation collections for initial concept introduction, targeted skill remediation for struggling readers, and enrichment activities that challenge advanced students to analyze increasingly sophisticated texts and identify nuanced authorial intentions across multiple genres and formats.
