This lesson is designed to support student understanding of print and graphic features, the information they give, and why authors choose to include them in a text. Students begin by sorting words by syllables and identifying common text features.
The two instructional blocks in this lesson focus on analyzing the author's use of print and graphic features in a text.
In the first instructional block students explain the information given in a variety of print features and analyze the purpose for the features.
