Text Features Level 2 Literacy Center™ - 1 literacy center

Identify And Use Text Features To Locate Information

The features of three pieces of informational text are isolated on five different text cards. Each highlights a different text feature (table of contents, graphics with captions, print variations, headings and subheadings, charts, maps, graphs, glossary, and index). Students place the cards in the sequence in which they would find them in a book. They are then tasked to identify text features, locate specific information, and generalize information. The How to Use Text Features card with graphics and color helps students identify parts of a book and locate information quickly.
