Non-fiction Texts
Being able to understand non-fiction text (also called informational text) is critical for academic success, especially as students get older. These are some important non-fiction text features that students have been learning about:
· Cover
· Author
· Table of contents
· Glossary
· Index
· Appendices
· Headings and subheadings
· Vocabulary lists
· Bold print (key vocabulary in context)
· Captions
· Side bars
· Maps
· Graphs (Circle, pie, bar, picto-gram, etc.
· Pictures/Photographs
Knowing about these text features helps students to navigate and understand factual information.
