How do transitions help a reader move through sections of a report?
On May 22, 2024
Transitions help readers move from one section of a report to the next and from key point to key point within sections.Transitions can be words,sentences,or complete paragraphs.Phrases such as "As you can see" alerts readers to the fact that they are reading a summary of the information just presented.The phrase "this decline in profits" refers to the previous paragraph,to let readers know that the text will be saying something else about that topic.The words "first," "second," and "third" help readers stay on track as the three alternatives are introduced,and the word "however" alerts readers to the fact that evaluating the three alternatives requires some additional discussion.Effective transitions such as these can help readers summarize and remember what they've learned so far while giving them a mental framework to process new information.
