About this worksheet

Text features help readers locate, compare, and interpret information that may not be fully explained in the main paragraph asks fifth graders to read closely, connect ideas across sentences, and choose evidence rather than a familiar-sounding answer. Students may skip a chart, caption, map, or graph even when it carries the evidence needed to answer the question. This worksheet uses compact passages and source pairs so students must return to the words on the page before answering. Students identify useful features, explain what a feature adds, connect features to questions, and choose evidence from charts, maps, logs, or diagrams. Support versions use more direct wording. Standard and challenge versions add closer choices, longer evidence, or a second source to compare. Ask your child to point to the line, feature, or reason that proves the answer. If a choice sounds reasonable but cannot be proved from the text, it is not the best reading answer.
