Abstract

Great things don’t always have to start at the beginning. Sometimes the most exciting things can start right smack in the middle.

For example, think of your favorite informational book for kids. If it’s a great informational book (and I’ll bet it is since you love it), you can open it up to any page, and voilà! You can dig right in because of all the text features available to guide you: Headings, captions, sidebars, photographs, and more. Because of its specialized design, any page in an informational book is an entry point and a prime opportunity for learning.
