The goal is to help students recognize a single pattern that predomininates over long stretches of print, even though you recognize that individual paragraphs and sentences are apt to reflect different though relationships within the text selection.
Provide assistance and numerous examples because perceiving text structure can be one of the most difficult tasks that a reader will do.
You may wish to use a graphic organizer to help the student think about and map their thoughts. http://www.eduplace.com/graphicorganizer/ You can find many kinds of graphic organizers as well as many other resources at http://www.enchantedlearning.com/graphicorganizers/.
