Lineation

In Tony Ross’ children book ‘I Want a Cat’ the lineation of the text plays a vital part in helping children be able to read the book, and understand what is happening. This shows as the first sentence ‘On Monday Jessy went to school.’ This is a very clear sentence which sets the scene for the children, it gives them the chance to understand what is going on, and where the story is set, so then they can carry on reading. It then goes on the next line, which helps the children who are reading it as it is all spilt up instead of it all being in one big paragraph.

  1. Good awareness of the use of discourse markers. Try and get in more terminology and linguistic concepts.
