In this lesson we learned how to use text features. Text features make it easier to locate and learn key facts or information in a text.
Text features may include:
• captions
• bold print
• subheadings
• glossaries
• indexes
• Icons, and
• Infographics
Take a moment to review each text feature listed above. See if your child remembers all seven of these tools and how they are used. If not, go back and review where more help is needed.
Finding and using text features can make reading easy and learning more fun for both you and your child.
