Literacy+Tools+for+Text+Features

1.)

As a class we can create a poster like this to keep on the walls of the classroom. Students will be learning about text features as we create this. They will also be able to have this to look at if they ever forget the text features.

2.)

I can create a text features scavenger hunt like this one and have the students search through books (that I know have several of these) and have them check off which items are in their book. Then, students can share their books to the class or a partner (depending on time) and show us where we can find these features if we were using that book.

3.)

[] If you subscribe to this website (you can get a free trail) there is an activity where you can identify text features. You can work as a class to identify the the text features. If the school has a smartboard, the students can take turns coming up to the board to identify the text features.

4.)

Students can complete these columns for four books. The first column is text features and students can list whichever ones they find in the book. The next column is the title of the book and students will list the title of the book. The last column is where students will write how do text features help them as a reader. They will list as many reasons they can think of.
