Feature Match-Up

About This Worksheet

This worksheet is a matching and application activity designed to help Grade 4 students identify which text feature best presents specific types of information. Students read descriptions and decide whether a caption, diagram, heading, or other feature would be most useful. For example, they learn that diagrams show how parts connect, while labels name parts clearly.

Curriculum and Grade Alignment

This worksheet aligns with Grade 4 standards for understanding how text features contribute to meaning and organization in informational texts.
