FAQs

What does the Text and Graphic Features worksheet cover?

This Grade 2 English worksheet uses 32 multiple-choice questions to assess students’ ability to identify text and graphic features, including captions, bold words, glossaries, photographs, tables of contents, diagrams, graphs, indexes, timelines, maps, and headings. Students also connect features to their purposes, such as using a glossary for vocabulary definitions and an index to find a topic’s page number.

How can I use this worksheet to teach text and graphic features?

Introduce each feature with a nonfiction book or article, then ask students to explain what information the feature provides before they complete the multiple-choice items. Use the worksheet’s examples of maps, graphs, diagrams, photographs, and timelines for a class discussion, and have students justify why an answer is a caption, glossary, table of contents, or index rather than another option.

What mistakes should I watch for when students complete this worksheet?

Students may confuse a caption with a photograph or label, and they may select a glossary when a question is asking for the index or table of contents. Watch for students who identify a visual feature, such as a map, graph, diagram, or timeline, without distinguishing its name from the information it presents, or who place the index in the front instead of the back of a book.

How do I assign and grade this Text and Graphic Features worksheet?

You can assign it as a printable PDF or use it as a digital quiz on Wayground, with the complete answer key available for checking all 32 multiple-choice questions. For printable submissions, scan student work with the Wayground for Teachers app to help grade responses efficiently.

How can I differentiate this text and graphic features worksheet for my students?

In the worksheet’s Advanced Settings, adjust font spacing or choose a larger font size to make the multiple-choice questions and feature names easier to read. You can also apply a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language while keeping the captions, glossary, index, maps, diagrams, and other feature-identification items intact.
