ILTS 206 Sub-Area 2 Practice Question #11
If a student wants to get an overview of an informational text, see the relationships among the various topics, and have an indication if the text is in chronological order or by topic, where should the student look in the text to find this information?
Correct Response: C
This question reminds us to be familiar with the ways children use and teachers teach the various text features of non-fiction/informational books.
Text features are elements included in books that exist independently from the book’s main text. they are intended to enhance readers’ experiences with the text. Some examples of text features include table of contents, the index, and the glossary of terms. Students learn how to access various information in books more quickly and efficiently through the use of text features.
