Text mapping is a visual technique to help students understand how information is organized in content area text, especially textbooks. Developed by Dave Middlebrook in the 1990s, involves marking different text features as a means to better understand and retain the content in a content area textbook.
A text would use a map to show the reader the locations of what they are talking about in the text. This would help the reader better understand what the text is explaining, by having a map as a visual.
