About This Worksheet
This worksheet brings everything together by asking students to use multiple text features to find answers. Instead of focusing on just one feature, students must decide which tool-heading, diagram, caption, or glossary-will help them.
This is exactly what real readers do when working with nonfiction texts.
It’s a great step toward independence.
