Use these 24 Nonfiction Text Feature Task Cards as a supplemental activity to increase your students' understanding and to help them to use nonfiction resources more effectively. Each of these 24 cards includes a nonfiction text feature term, a short definition, and a writing task. The cards are correlated with RI 3.5, 3.7, and 4.7 Common Core Standards.
Your students will need age-appropriate nonfiction books to complete these cards. Ideally, one book should be used for most of the cards, however, it is unlikely that one book will include all of the text features, so additional books will be needed (or you can have students skip cards that are not applicable to their books). One option is to create a center with several books available for use. It is also best if the student has not read the book(s) before completing the cards.
Each card is numbered so students can easily track which cards they have completed. A student recording sheet is also included. These cards will look best in color, but will also print out fine in grayscale. Simply print and cut along the guidelines. Laminate and use them again and again. Another option is to print on card stock.
These task cards explore the following 18 text features (one card per feature unless otherwise specified):
Table of contents
Headings and subheadings (2 cards)
Font styles (bold, italics, etc.)
Bullet points
Quotes
Illustrations and Photos (2 cards)
Caption (2 cards)
Diagram
Graph or Chart
Table
Map
Fact box
Sidebar or Text box (2 cards)
Timeline
Glossary (2 cards)
Index (2 cards)
For More Information
Other features (activities, fun facts etc.)
These cards are correlated with the following Common Core Standards:
RI.3.5. Use text features and search tools (e.g., key words, sidebars, hyperlinks) to locate information relevant to a given topic efficiently.
RI.4.7. Interpret information presented visually, orally, or quantitatively (e.g., in charts, graphs, diagrams, time lines, animations, or interactive elements on Web pages) and explain how the information contributes to an understanding of the text in which it appears.
You can now purchase this set bundled with two other nonfiction task card sets (different from this one) right here
Happy Teaching!

Hi, I see that you have informational reading task cards geared for 2nd graders. However, it states that it's a dollar but when I "add to cart" it says $2.25.
January 25, 2013
Rachel Lynette (TpT Seller)
That was my mistake. It was a dollar for one day last week as a flash sale, but I forgot to take that sentence out of the description when I changed the price back. I can't give it to you for a dollar, but if you buy it and email me your user name and date of purchase, I will email you another set of your choice for free. My email is reallyrachel@gmail.com

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Subject Area:
Most of my teaching experience is with gifted and talented students in grades 2-4, though I have worked with children of all ages in general education classrooms as well. A few years ago I stopped teaching in order to write nonfiction children's books full time. Gradually over the last couple of years, my career has switched from writing to creating teaching materials here on Teacher Pay Teacher. I love creating teaching products (most recently task cards) and feel just as passionate about my work now as I did when I was teaching. I also love knowing that my products help thousands of teachers and reach tens of thousands of students.
