What children learn in Level 16
- Informational texts have special parts that help you find information fast. They're called text features.
- The title tells what the whole text is about. Headings tell what each part is about.
- A caption is the sentence under a picture. Labels name the parts of a picture.
- Bold words are important words. You can find out what they mean in the glossary at the end.
- Before you read, look at the text features. They're like a map of the text!
