Visual-Verbal Relationship
What is an Expository Text? Expository texts are designed to explain, inform, and present facts of specific topics. These texts can be accompanied by visual cues to provide or further highlight information.
Examples of these visual elements include graphs , tables , maps , illustrations , and the like. Their primary function is to improve comprehension of a reading material . The concept of visual-verbal symbiosis is rooted in the idea that " visuals " support " verbals ," and vice versa. Dwyer (1988) found a symbiotic relationship between verbal and visual literacies when the two are combined to facilitate student achievement.
