Also at the easy level, this sheet focuses on a different set of features: the index, labels on diagrams, and maps in textbooks. Third graders correct sentences that place the index in the wrong spot or misuse labels, then fill in blanks naming the glossary, captions, and headings.
The true-or-false section reinforces how headings help readers locate information and reminds students that bold words point to glossary definitions.
