​Informational text is non-fiction writing that presents facts and information about real people, places, things, and events. Writers of informational texts use print and graphic features to achieve specific purposes. Print features are text elements, such as titles, headings, and boldface terms. Graphic features are visual elements, such as photographs, drawings, maps, charts, graphs, and diagrams. Writers include these features to make information clear and easy for readers to understand.
