From this week's reading assignment, I learned what expository 

reading is and how it can play an important role in developing a 

child's reading and comprehension ability. The article defined 

expository reading as an alternative approach to developing 

children's reading and comprehension skills and although complex, 

its purpose is to actually provide them with a clearer perspective 

on how to successfully read various written texts while at the same 

time making sure that the student is able to also clearly understand 

what he or she is doing during the course of their reading. Such 

examples as "compare and contrast" along with "cause and effect" 

perfectly exemplify the core essence what epository assessment is 

all about along with how and why it is designated to help young 

students with their literacy skills, especially through the use of 

graphic organizers that are normally provided in applying these 

expository assessments to the reading such as the "Venn Diagrams" 

and "Idea Webs" to name a few.
