Identifying the Author's Purpose represents a fundamental reading comprehension skill that Grade 3 students must master to become critical readers and analytical thinkers. Wayground's interactive video collection provides guided video lessons specifically designed to help young learners recognize whether authors write to inform, persuade, or entertain their audiences. These comprehensive resources feature embedded questions and comprehension checks that engage students throughout each lesson, ensuring they actively process information about textual clues, word choice, and structural elements that reveal an author's intentions. The interactive format allows students to pause, reflect, and respond to prompts while building their ability to distinguish between factual information, persuasive language, and entertaining narratives across various text types including articles, advertisements, stories, and instructional materials. Wayground supports educators with access to millions of teacher-created interactive video resources that can be easily searched and filtered by grade level, reading standards, and specific comprehension skills. The platform's robust differentiation tools enable teachers to customize video lessons for diverse learning needs, adjusting difficulty levels and providing additional scaffolding for students who require extra support in recognizing author's purpose indicators. Teachers can deliver these digital resources through whole-class instruction, small group sessions, or independent learning stations, while built-in analytics help identify students who need remediation or are ready for enrichment activities. The standards-aligned content supports systematic skill reinforcement across multiple lessons, allowing educators to build students' analytical reading abilities progressively while preparing them for more complex literary analysis in upper elementary grades.
