Many times, you must do something you do not know how to do. There are steps you can follow.
What is a "procedural text"?
Procedural text is another way of saying directions, instructions, or guides.
It is a way to do or make something. Steps are given.
You can find recipes for cooking, science experiments, rules for games, or making a project.
You might need to know how to use things like a machine or even a computer.
You can see the steps in little titles under the big title, directions or as a list to follow.
They can have pictures to help, too.
When following "procedural texts", you must go from one step to the other. Do not skip steps.
Here is a procedural text. Read it. Then answer questions.
