‍‍‍**Notes and Additional Information**
Students are required to find out word meanings and phrases that are specific to grade 2. As students continue to build the skill of using text features to find information with proficiency, they need to be able to use captions, bold print, subheadings, glossaries, electronic menus, icons, etc. to analyze the text informaiton.

Students are required to tell the main purpose of a text according to what the author wants the reader to know.

Questions: What features in the text help you find important information about what you are reading? How do the subheadings help you understand what you are reading? How does the glossary help you? How does bold print help you? Why do you think the author wrote this text? What does the author want you to learn from this text?
