Relationships between ideas in informational text | Reading | Khan Academy

We want to identify key elements: what are the most important people, events, or ideas in a text? What's happening, who's doing what? Then we figure out the relationship between those elements. Who or what caused something to happen? What happened as a result? We can find relationships between events, people, and even ideas. Doing that will make you understand the connections between different parts of a text and better understand what you read. Courses on Khan Academy are always 100% free.
