About This Worksheet
This worksheet gives students hands-on practice with captions, one of the most common and useful text features in nonfiction books.
Instead of selecting an answer, students are now creating their own captions. That’s a big step because it asks them to look closely at a picture and explain it clearly in words.
This builds both observation skills and writing skills at the same time.
Curriculum and Grade Alignment
This worksheet supports Grade 2 writing and informational text skills and aligns with CCSS RI.2.7 and W.2.2.
Student Tasks
Students look at farm images and write captions that explain what each picture shows.
Common Challenges and Misconceptions
Students may write very short or unclear captions.
A helpful reminder is: “A good caption tells what is happening in the picture.”
Implementation Guidance
Encourage students to include who, what, and where in their captions.
Details and Features

Students practice turning visual information into written language, which is a key comprehension skill.
