This document outlines a lesson on linear and non-linear text. It defines linear text as presenting information in a straight line from beginning to end, like novels and stories. Non-linear text does not require sequential reading and allows readers to choose their own path, using things like graphs, diagrams, and story maps. Examples are given of both linear and non-linear texts. Readers are then asked to identify whether examples like poems or flowcharts are linear or non-linear. The document emphasizes that understanding the difference between linear and non-linear text is important for everyday use of different formats like schedules, maps, and pictographs.

We NEED to KNOW this!!!
Linear and non-linear text
Text – Refers to anything that can be read which
is used to send and convey a particular message.

9. JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC
WHAT IS IT?
Linear comes from the
word “line.” The reading texts
are presented within the
straight line.

10. JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC
What is LINEAR?
Linear Text
❑ refers to traditional text that needs to be read
from beginning to the end. This type of text
has an order or sequence; it is typically the
author who decides the order of the text, or its
reading path. It is the most common type of
reading. Generally, texts printed on paper are
considered as linear texts.

What is LINEAR?
Examples of Linear
Text
❑ novels, poems, short
stories, letters,
educational texts.
❑ All these texts are read
from the beginning to the
end.
novels
poem
story letter

What is NON-LINEAR?
Non-linear Text
❑ is the opposite of linear text. It is non-linear and non-
sequential. In other words, the readers do not have to
go through the text in a sequential manner in order to
make sense of the text. This type of text has many
reading paths since it’s the readers who decide the
sequence of reading, not the author of the text. Most
people consider texts with visuals or graphs along with
it as examples for non-linear texts.

13. JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC
What is NON-LINEAR?
Examples of Non-
Linear Text
❑ flowcharts, charts,
diagrams, and graphs (ex:
pie chart, bar graphs),
graphical organizers such
as knowledge maps and
story maps. Pie graph
diagram
Story map
Flow chart

19. JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC
What is NON-LINEAR?
✔ any text that is not read from
beginning to the end falls into the
category of non-linear text.
✔ allows readers to find specific
information more quickly and
efficiently.

20. JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC
What is the DIFFERENCE?
The key difference between linear and non-
linear text is their reading path. A reading path is
the path or the way the reader’s take through a
text. In a linear text, a reader can make sense of the
text by reading sequentially, from beginning to the
end. However, in a non-linear text, the reading path
is non-sequential; thus, the reader can choose his
own reading path.
