Starfish Text Features

Learn and label like a star! Second- and third-grade students demonstrate their understanding of nonfiction text features with this helpful vocabulary worksheet.

The worksheet includes four text features about starfish. Students read through all of the features and use the word bank at the bottom of the page to label each one. The five word bank options are caption, index, diagram, subheading, and heading, but only four will match the features. In the process, students learn how text features help readers better understand a topic.

For more advanced practice with nonfiction text features, have students complete the two-page Nonfiction Text Features: Martin Luther King, Jr. worksheet.
