At the same time, many teachers and homeschooling parents use textbooks as the primary resource for delivering information to students. The child's ability to learn the information often depends on their success with the textbook. Textbooks have changed in recent years. Many children, however, still experience difficulty learning information from textbooks. There are a number of reasons why children experience difficulty with textbooks.
Stories have characters to whom children can relate.
Characters have problems and encounter situations that children may have experienced. Since expository writing does not have characters or a plot and few preschoolers have had it read to them, children often do not understand how informational text is organized. The child must be able to read these graphic aids and integrate the information with the content explained in the writing. These are the words science words, mathematics words, etc. In many textbooks, several concepts are included in a single paragraph.
