Nonfiction Text Features: Martin Luther King, Jr.

Practice identifying and interpreting nonfiction text features in this worksheet about the life and legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. Students will learn that nonfiction text features help a reader navigate a text by offering more information about it. They will then read a short passage about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his role in the American civil rights movement, referring to a sidebar, map, headings, and a caption to enhance their understanding of the text. Learners will then complete prompts designed to support their understanding of both the text and the text features. Designed for third and fourth graders, this informative, engaging worksheet supports young readers as they learn to read and interpret works of nonfiction.
