- Diagrammatic representations given in the book if any: illustrations, charts, maps, graphs etc.

- Signals and signs that the author uses to prepare your perceptual experience as you read. The signals occur before, within and after chapters or texts depending on the organization of the reading material or book. These signals are also referred to as pre-chapter, intra-chapter, and post-chapter guides respectively.

- Pre-chapter/text guides: these may be questions, quotations, brief reports of a case study, story, illustration or challenging question. It is given at the introduction and has the purpose of arousing the reader’s interest and curiosity.

-Intra-chapter/text guides: these provide direction as you read. They focus attention on what is important and establish the order of information. Examples: highlighted words, major headings – bold face, italicized words, major headings and subheadings, use of different colours/sizes and other design features.

- Post-chapter/text guides: this is information found at the end of a text. For example: a summary of major points, questions, lists of terms, chapter reviews, glossaries and suggested reading – bibliographies.
