Flashcard 7 - 11th Grade English Language Arts and Literacy: Reading Flashcard Set for the SBAC

a text written to entertain, which usually has a theme the author wants to share with the audience

Texts on the SBAC are divided into two categories: Literary and Informational. You should be able to tell the type of text by the format and content as literary tends to tell a story and includes characters that engage in actions that take the reader through a plot. Informational texts will be informative and have a more matter-of-fact tone.
