Key Features of Texts Worksheets
Related ELA Standard: RI.2.5
There are many different items located in a text that helps us find things quickly and evaluate the work more quickly. Bold print often tells us that what the theme of the writing below is. In some cases people will only remember the thoughts that were plotted out in bold print. Glossaries can usually be found at the end of a text. Glossaries can be used to navigate to key themes or arguments that the text examines. You will often find icons or some level of standard heading in any and all works. These worksheets will help students better understand the use of the different formatting features of most texts.
