A map can form the text structure by audio-visual way to show the information connections of the text. We conduct the study of application of text mapping in senior school reading teaching .Its purpose is to study if the strategy of text mapping is efficient in senior English teaching .I think that we should improve our students' ability of thinking and expressing English in English using key words and text structure.There are 112 passages in senior text books in all, in which narrative and expository texts are 90; taking up about 80% of the total .It is difficult for students to read. To improve reading ability, the students should grasp basic reading strategy, which is text-mapping. By doing the experiment, I prove using the strategy we can analyze the basic structure of the text, show the connections of each part of the text orderly, and get the main idea of the text. Meanwhile we can improve students reading ability.
