Informational Text is a huge part of the Common Core State Standards. In order for your students to understand informational text, especially textbooks, they need to know to learn about text features and how they are used.
Below is an anchor chart that I display in my classroom when teaching the students about text features. It is so important to have a visual that students can see right in front of them.
A great resource to use when teaching text features is a magazine such as Scholastic News or Time for Kids. Both magazines contain most, if not all, of these text features. They are also loaded with great informational text as well.
Please feel free to use the image from this blog post in your classroom if you teach text features to your students!
If you would like to see an interactive PowerPoint about Text Features that will get your students excited about learning in your classroom you can click here too.
What a complete and attention holding anchor chart. I hope I can make one like yours!
