This medium worksheet pushes third graders to choose the right text feature for each clue. You will fill in blanks naming captions under storm photos, the glossary that defined "migration," the index a reader uses to track "magnets," headings, bold print, diagrams of the water cycle, subheadings, and labels. A matching section then pairs subheading, label, index, and caption with what each one does. This sheet trains your brain to grab the fastest tool for finding answers in any nonfiction book.
Knowing these features makes science and social studies reading much less overwhelming.
