Student Reflections On Text Features

A text features helps us understanding what we are reading.  We can learn more about the book when we use text features.  There are many kinds of  text features.  Here are some of the text features we talked about in class.
We use our bold print for some of the words because they are important.  Bold print means the words are darker and sometimes they are bigger. Photographs are a text feature and if you don't know the words you can use the photo or picture clues. You might find labels on pictures or photographs to help you learn new words.  A Table of Contents helps us look for ideas at the front of the book.  It tells us which page to look on.  A Glossary helps you find out the meaning of a word. 
We wanted to learn about text features because we wanted to make our posters on the five senses better.
