Book Exploration

Worksheet Description

This Balanced Literacy worksheet is designed to help students become more adept at identifying and understanding the text types and features present in various books. Students will work on honing their analytical skills as they examine different literary works.

To use this worksheet, students will write down the titles of the books they are exploring. Then, for each book, they will determine its text type (e.g., narrative, informational, persuasive) and list the text features they find within the book (e.g., headings, illustrations, captions).

This activity encourages students to pay close attention to the structure and content of books, promoting a deeper understanding of text types and the role of text features in comprehension. It can be particularly useful in developing critical reading skills and aiding students in making connections between text types and their features.
