Exploring Nonfiction Text Features

The video tutorial explores various non-fiction text features that aid readers in understanding information presented across a page. It highlights the use of graphs, charts, highlighted text, glossaries, subheadings, pictures, captions, and maps.

The tutorial uses a 'Time For Kids' magazine as an example to demonstrate these features.
