About this resource
Description
Nonfiction books are full of helpers that make facts easier to find. The I Can Use Nonfiction Text Features worksheet teaches 2nd grade students four of the most useful ones: bold print, captions, the index, and labels. When children know what each feature does, they can read an informational book with a plan instead of guessing where to look.
In Part 1, students read four short clues and write the matching text feature from the word bank in each box. In Part 2, they open a real nonfiction book, find a text feature they like, draw it in the large box, and write its name. Moving from clues to a real book helps kids see that these features show up in every science and social studies book they pick up.
What’s Included
- A four-word text feature word bank: bold, caption, index, and label
- Four clue sentences, each with an answer box
- A large drawing box for a real-book text feature hunt
- An answer key for Part 1
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
- It gives students clear words for the parts of a nonfiction page.
- Knowing where the index and captions are helps kids find facts faster.
- The book hunt turns a definition into something children can see and use.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before starting, hold up a nonfiction book and point to a caption, a label, a bold word, and the index. After students finish, collect their drawings into a class text features chart. This 2nd grade text features worksheet also works well at a reading center with a basket of library books. At home, try the I Can Use Nonfiction Text Features worksheet with a favorite animal book and ask your child to show you each feature.
