Grade 1 Text Features Worksheet

About this worksheet

Text features help readers find and understand information. In first grade, children begin using headings, tables of contents, captions, labels, bold words, and glossaries in simple nonfiction books. These features can be easy to overlook because young readers often move straight to the main sentences. This worksheet asks which feature would help with a specific reading job: finding a page, understanding a picture, locating a word meaning, or noticing a section topic. Support pages use common classroom book features. Standard and challenge pages ask children to connect a feature to a purpose rather than only naming it. Encourage your child to preview a nonfiction page before reading the paragraph. The heading, caption, and labels often tell what kind of information to expect.
