The CCSS definition of informational text types for "reading" encompasses digital texts, including various subgenres like exposition, argument, and functional text (Source).

While traditional emphasis may have been on printed text in the past, today's students must apply comprehension standards to Media Texts and Digital Texts as well. This involves analyzing key ideas, understanding text structures, and integrating knowledge effectively.
