Identifying the author's purpose represents a fundamental reading comprehension skill that enables students to understand why writers create specific texts and how this intention shapes content, tone, and structure. Through Wayground's comprehensive collection of interactive videos focused on author's purpose identification, students engage with guided video lessons that systematically break down the three primary purposes: to inform, to persuade, and to entertain. These educational resources incorporate embedded questions and comprehension checks that pause learning at critical moments, allowing students to practice recognizing textual clues, analyzing word choice, and evaluating evidence that reveals an author's underlying intentions. The interactive format ensures active participation as students work through authentic examples from various genres, developing the analytical skills necessary to move beyond surface-level reading toward deeper textual understanding. Wayground's extensive library of millions of teacher-created interactive videos provides educators with robust tools to deliver targeted instruction on author's purpose identification across diverse learning environments. The platform's sophisticated search and filtering capabilities enable teachers to locate resources aligned with specific reading standards and grade-level expectations, while built-in customization tools allow for differentiation based on individual student needs and reading levels. Teachers can seamlessly integrate these digital resources into whole-group instruction, small-group interventions, or independent practice sessions, using real-time data from embedded assessments to identify students requiring additional support or enrichment opportunities. This flexible delivery system supports comprehensive lesson planning while providing immediate feedback mechanisms that help educators adjust instruction, reinforce key concepts, and ensure mastery of this critical reading comprehension strategy.
