Thinking About the Text

When readers think about the text, they are required to recognise the text as an object. Readers notice and analyse the crafting decisions that the writer made when writing the text. They critique these decisions by determining how effective the choices were in achieving the purpose. Thinking about the text enables the reader to learn more about how texts are structured and crafted by writers.
