WHAT I NEED TO KNOW
Hi, there! Do you struggle in understanding what you are reading? Do you have
difficulty in organizing information? Well, don’t worry! Today, you will be learning how
to appreciate content of materials read through the use of different textual aids.
By learning various textual aids, you will be able to understand texts at a much
deeper level, and so have real control over them. This control comes about because a
student who can visualize a text type understands how writers construct meaning
through the textual aids they choose to use and the way they arrange those features. It
is this understanding that is fundamental to enhancing your reading comprehension
skills.
Hence, this module contains various tasks on the topic that you must accomplish
for several days.
Bear in mind that your learning should not only be limited to acquiring content or
information. You must be able to exhibit what you learned by applying the content you
gained to the tasks prepared for you. To put it simply, you must be able to put effort in
giving answers to all activities in your activity notebook.
Determine the effect of textual aids like advance organizers, titles, non-linear
illustrations, etc. on the understanding of a text.

WHAT’S IN
Now, let us try to recall what you have learned in your Science class about wax
material.
Very good! You are now ready to relate all your answers to the selection you are
about to read. Enjoy reading!
Got it? These words are found in the story you are about to read. Remember
their meaning when you encounter them in the story.
WHAT’S NEW
Before you proceed to the selection, analyze the picture shown below. Then, try to
answer the questions that follow in your notebook.

WHAT IS IT
Directions: Read the myth entitled, “Daedalus and Icarus”. Examine closely the
text for various textual aids that can help you understand the text better.
On the island of Crete there lived punishment for his enemies! Deciding he
a Minotaur, a ferocious creature that had no further use for Daedalus, the

of the island of Crete were terrified of with his son Icarus. The King expected

to feast on human flesh. They begged found by the Minotaur and eaten.

enemies deserved to meet such a pondered on what to do next. The trees
fate. He enlisted the help of
Daedalus, a talented architect,
inventor and craftsman, and asked
him to build a labyrinth – a maze of
passages that would be so complex
that it would be virtually impossible
for anyone (or anything) to ever find
a way out.
That was the end of the end of the story. Did you understand it? Did you notice
some textual aids used in the selection? What are they? How did these aids help you in
understanding the text better?
The title, images, and even graphic organizers used in the previous tasks that
you found or utilized to analyze the text enabled you to grasp deeply the content of the
material. These visual elements are called textual aids.
Textual aids are tools/elements or materials that provide support and facilitate
understanding of texts (whether fiction or nonfiction). These aids are, most of the time,
graphical outlines or images that gives a general idea of a certain topic. Aids in the form
of pictures or graphs give the reader additional information to support that found in the
text. Text aids are also useful for previewing text.
Textual aids help students like you understand and comprehend any story,
subject, or topic. They give emphasis on what should be focused on.
Moreover, don’t forget that basic examples of textual aids are those words being
highlighted, bolded, italicized, and added with charts, graphs, diagrams, maps, tables,
pictures, etc. for better understanding of the text.
Our focus in this lesson is the use of graphic organizers as an example of textual
aids.
Graphic organizers can be categorized in many ways according to the way they
arrange information: hierarchical, conceptual, sequential, or cyclical (Bromley, Irwin-
DeVitis, & Modlo, 1995). Some graphic organizers focus on one particular content area.
For example, a vast number of graphic organizers have been created solely around
reading and pre-reading strategies (Merkley & Jeffries, 2000).
Different types of graphic organizers and their uses with corresponding examples
are illustrated in the next page.
7
Concept Map
A concept map is a general
organizer that shows a central idea
with its corresponding characteristics.
Concept maps can take many
different shapes and can be used to
show any type of relationship that can
be labeled. Maps are excellent for
brainstorming, activating prior
knowledge, or generating synonyms.
Maps can be used to show
hierarchical relationships with the
most important concepts placed at the
top.
Flow Diagram or Sequence Chart
A flow diagram or sequence chart
shows a series of steps or events in
the order in which they take place.
Any concept that has a distinct order
can be displayed in this type of
organizer. It is an excellent tool for
teaching students the steps necessary
to reach a final point.
The following examples illustrate
the many uses of flow diagrams or
sequence charts.
In reading, sequence charts can
be used to outline the key events in a
story or chapter.
In science, they can serve as the
procedures section in the scientific
process.
In history, they can be created as
a timeline.
8
Compare/Contrast or Venn
Diagram
A compare/contrast or Venn
diagram is used to identify the
similarities and differences between
two or more concepts. The most
commonly used organizer, this
instructional tool is found in textbooks,
on standardized tests, and in teacher
resource materials.
Cause-and-Effect Diagram
A cause-and-effect diagram
highlights the direct relationship
between different events or concepts.
This tool is one of the most
beneficial organizers because of its
many applications in all subject areas.
For example, this diagram
might be used to analyze characters
and events in reading, to discuss
major events in social studies, or to
study the impact of a science
experiment.

WHAT'S MORE
If you can give answers to the different kinds of questions below using
different graphic organizers, you can now be able to use textual aids in
understanding the text. Some questions below ask for details from the material.
Other questions are more difficult because they require you to think more deeply. The
answer cannot just be found by looking for the answer in the text. You need to
compare and contrast information from the text/material or think about how
something affects something else or think about what could happen next.
How did the title inside the box help you in answering the
questions?
