Classroom Application

Students are familiar with and make use of text features such as captions, bold print, subheadings, glossaries, indexes, electronic menus, and icons. Students know that different text features provide different information, and they use the correct text features to find the needed information efficiently.

In the Classroom:

During shared reading, the teacher reads an informational text with examples of several text features. After reading, the teacher shows students sentence strips with facts from the text, and students match each fact to the text feature from the text where the information can be found.

In guided reading, students complete a text feature scavenger hunt in a familiar text. Students are given a list of text features and must list one fact they learned from each feature in the text.
