About this resource
Description
An informational book teaches real facts, and its text features help young readers find those facts fast. This features of an informational book worksheet introduces first graders to four features they will see in almost every nonfiction book: the heading, the photo, the caption, and bold words. When children know what each feature does, they can preview a page, spot the big idea, and find key information on their own.
How to Use This Worksheet
In Part 1, students read three short clues and write the matching text feature from a word bank. One word is a distractor, so children must think about each clue instead of guessing. In Part 2, students look at a page from a science book about pumpkins and follow four lettered steps: circle the heading, put an X on the photo, draw a box around the caption, and underline the bold word. The answer key shows every mark so checking is quick.
What’s Included
- One printable page with a word bank and three text feature clues
- A sample informational book page with a heading, photo, caption, and bold word
- Four follow-the-steps marking tasks
- A complete answer key
Why It Helps Kids
- It builds the habit of using text features to locate key facts, a core first grade reading standard.
- It connects each feature name to what the feature looks like on a real page.
- It uses short, grade-level sentences so early readers can work on their own.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use this 1st grade text features worksheet as a mini-lesson before a nonfiction read-aloud, then have students hunt for the same four features in a library book. It works well in a reading center, in small groups, or as homework. At home, try the features of an informational book worksheet with a favorite animal or science book and ask your child to point to each feature and tell what it does. Students can also make their own book page with a heading, a drawing, and a caption.
