Next week in reading we will start learning about nonfiction text fea-tures, and how they help us better understand what we are read-ing. We will focus on headings, subheading, bold words, dia-grams, illustrations, photo-graphs, and captions. Whew! That seems like a lot, but students are already very familiar with these things. We will have another cold read passage for students to com-plete on Thursday, where they will use these text features to help them answer questions about what they have read.
