About this worksheet

Visual information in fourth-grade texts includes diagrams, maps, charts, timelines, captions, and photographs. Students need to connect those features to the surrounding text, not treat them as decoration. This worksheet asks students to decide which visual would help explain a passage, what information a visual adds, and how captions or labels support understanding. The questions are text-based but keep the visual purpose explicit.

Have your child state what the visual shows that the paragraph alone does not show as clearly. That turns a picture or chart into evidence. The best work on this page comes from rereading the text, naming the exact evidence, and explaining why that evidence fits. Encourage students to prove each answer from the passage rather than from memory or a quick impression.
