How-to listings are a type of instructional material that provide step-by-step instructions on how to complete a task. They are often found in books, magazines, websites, and other media. The term 'STEPS' is an acronym for the five letters that make up the word 'steps, ' which is a key component of how-to listings. Steps are the individual instructions that make up the overall process of completing a task. They are usually written in a logical order and can include diagrams, illustrations, or other visuals to help the reader understand the instructions.
