How to Pick a Book Part 3

The third item to note when picking a book is its organization. When readers understand the way books are organized, they can better understand the book. When readers understand how they learn best - they can choose books which help them most. So encourage students to look at the layout of the book. Are there long or short chapters? Are there a variety of pictures, illustrations and diagrams? Are there headings and subheadings? Even the size of print can have an influence on how easily a students understands the book.
