Question

Why is it important to identify the purpose

Answer 1

Answer:

Identifying the author’s purpose is an important part of reading comprehension.  That’s because knowing why an author wrote a text is the key to knowing what to remember when you’ve read the last page.  

It’s sort of like setting a purpose for comprehension. In general, there are 3 basic reasons for an author to write something: to persuade their reader, to inform their reader, or to entertain their reader.
