Text Features Worksheets for Grade 7 ELA focus on how headings, captions, and other text features help readers make meaning from a text. Designed around Reading and Literature within the Ontario framework, this resource moves beyond simply identifying text features by asking students to examine how they work with surrounding paragraphs and ideas.

What Students Practice

• Identify how headings, captions, and other text features clarify the main idea.
• Explain how text features connect to surrounding paragraphs rather than functioning as separate information.
• Use evidence from a text to describe structure, emphasis, and relationships among ideas.
• Integrate information from visuals and organizers to strengthen reading comprehension.

The activities give students opportunities to connect visual and organizational elements with the written text, supporting close reading and meaning making. Students encounter multiple-choice questions, true-or-false statements, short-answer responses, a reading passage, matching, a cloze passage, an essay, and a brief “Did You Know?” component.

What You Receive

• Student worksheet focused on text features as meaning-making tools
• Student Notes & Lesson Summary supplement for review and reference
• Separate Teacher Guide with learning objectives, teaching tips, discussion questions, and common mistakes

Classroom Use

Use this Grade 7 reading comprehension resource during a lesson on text features, as guided practice after instruction, for independent work, or as a structured review. The reading passage and written-response tasks give students a chance to apply the skill in context, while the varied activities provide different ways to work with the same core ideas.

For teachers, the accompanying notes and lesson summary provide student-facing support, while the separate Teacher Guide helps with lesson preparation, classroom discussion, instructional tips, and anticipating common mistakes. The resource is especially useful when students need to move from spotting a heading or caption to explaining why that feature matters and how it contributes to meaning.
