About this resource

What's inside this resource

It takes practice to read informational texts, and having clear visual aids in the classroom really helps. Students can identify and comprehend the elements they come across in nonfiction books, articles, and digital information with the help of this collection of 16 nonfiction text features posters.

Each poster is printed in full color, is letter-sized (8.5" x 11"), and has enough contrast to be readable from across a classroom. They don't need to be reformatted or prepared further; they can be printed directly from the download. Print them in smaller sizes for student notebooks and reading folders, or laminate them for a long-lasting wall display.

The title page, table of contents, index, glossary, illustrations, photos, diagrams, timelines, pie charts, bar graphs, maps, map keys, headings, captions, hyperlinks, and bold or italicized key words are among the 16 posters that cover the nonfiction text elements that are most frequently tested in elementary and middle school curricula.

They provide pupils with a comprehensive basis for reading informational texts by addressing structural elements, visual aids, data representations, and navigational tools.

This resource works well in school library settings or ESL/ELL instruction, where visual context helps language learners connect with academic vocabulary and text structure. It also fits nicely into ELA and reading classes for students in grades 2 through 5. Additionally, the posters are in line with Common Core Informational Text standards, which makes it simple to integrate them into already-existing reading strategy classes.

If your curriculum includes nonfiction reading, this collection provides students with the language and visual literacy they need to engage those works confidently.
