=Teachers of all subjects need to teach students to read like writers-- to question how an author crafts a text:=
 * What is the author's purpose for writing this passage?
 * Why did he include the chart/graph/photo/diagram?
 * How do the headings/bullets impact the text?
 * Why does he include certain details?
