Reading text features worksheet with word bank and fill-in-the-blank definitions.

Let’s go through each question one by one and match the correct word from the word bank to its definition.

Word Bank:
- Non-Fiction
- caption
- Photograph
- Bold print
- index
- Table of Contents
- glossary
- Heading

---

1. “__________ darken writing that helps the reader identify important words.”
→ This is talking about text that stands out because it’s darker or thicker — that’s Bold print.

2. “The __________ is like a mini dictionary found in the back of the nonfiction book.”
→ A mini dictionary at the back? That’s the glossary — it defines key terms used in the book.

3. “__________ helps the reader understand exactly what something looks like.”
→ Something that shows you what something looks like? That’s a Photograph.

4. “The __________ helps the reader find key topics in the nonfiction book they are reading.”
→ Helps you find where topics are located in the book? That’s the index (alphabetical list with page numbers).

5. “__________ is the genre of text about real people, animals, places, or things.”
→ Text about real stuff? That’s Non-Fiction.

6. “A __________ gives the reader more information about the picture or photograph.”
→ Words under or near a photo that explain it? That’s a caption.

7. “The __________ is an alphabetical list of things written in the text, with page numbers.”
→ Again, this is the index — but wait! We already used “index” for #4. Let’s double-check.

Wait — actually, #4 says “helps the reader find key topics” — that could also be the Table of Contents, which lists chapters/sections at the front. And #7 says “alphabetical list... with page numbers” — that’s definitely the index.

So let’s fix:

#4 → Table of Contents (lists main sections/chapters at the front)
#7 → index (alphabetical list at the back)

That makes sense.

8. “__________ helps the reader understand the main idea of each section.”
→ The title at the top of a section? That’s a Heading.

Now let’s assign all correctly:

1. Bold print
2. glossary
3. Photograph
4. Table of Contents
5. Non-Fiction
6. caption
7. index
8. Heading

Double-checking against word bank — we’ve used all 8 words once. Perfect.

Final Answer:
1. Bold print
2. glossary
3. Photograph
4. Table of Contents
5. Non-Fiction
6. caption
7. index
8. Heading
