This easy worksheet keeps building third-grade confidence with nonfiction tools. You will fix sentences that confuse subheadings, the table of contents, and labels, then fill in missing terms like bold words, diagram, index, and subheading. The true-or-false section asks whether captions and labels do the same job and whether maps, diagrams, and charts all count as text features. Practicing these features now means that the next time you open a science or social studies book, you can move through it like a real researcher instead of getting stuck.
