About this resource

This quiz comprehensively covers nonfiction text features, a foundational reading skill typically taught in elementary grades 2-4. The questions assess students' understanding of essential navigational tools including table of contents, index, glossary, captions, labels, bold print, diagrams, photographs, and maps. Students must demonstrate both identification skills—recognizing what each text feature looks like—and functional understanding of how these features support readers in locating information, understanding vocabulary, and navigating through nonfiction texts. The quiz requires students to know the organizational structure of books, understanding that certain features appear in specific locations (front, middle, or back), and to recognize that nonfiction texts serve the primary purpose of teaching and informing rather than entertaining. This quiz was created by a classroom teacher who designed it for students studying elementary reading comprehension and nonfiction text analysis. This assessment serves multiple instructional purposes, functioning effectively as a formative assessment tool to gauge student mastery before moving to more complex informational texts, or as targeted practice for students who need reinforcement with text navigation skills. Teachers can deploy this quiz as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge before introducing new nonfiction texts, assign it as independent practice after direct instruction on text features, or use it for review sessions preparing students for standardized assessments. The content directly supports Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.2.5 and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.3.5, which require students to know and use various text features to locate key facts or information in texts efficiently, building the foundation for advanced research and study skills in later grades.
