This reading comprehension lesson helps students describe text features that make information accessible and usable. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read a text, looking for text features, such as titles, bold, italics, bullets, etc. as well as visual features, such as charts, diagrams, illustrations, maps, etc. Then, they write in complete sentences to describe how each feature emphasizes or draws attention to specific information. In addition to the lesson, there are eight pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
