Text+Features

Text features and how they may be helpful for your students:

__Highlighting__ : Highlighting can be very useful for students to see the key information they need to know when reading the text. Although students should be taught to read an entire piece of writing, sometimes their comprehension level decreases because there is so much text to read. But, bring in a highlighter and they will be able to see in a colorful way all the details that need to stay !

// __Italicizing__ //: Reading a words that is slanted on a page draws the eye to the word. Students who are new to reading wonder why this word or words are different from the other words on the page and want to look into it. //Mix up the way a word looks and the kids won't put down those books //!

__Larger Font__ : Sometime it's not so easy for students to see the text they read. Making the font on a worksheet or a book larger for them makes the text seem less intimidating and easier for them to read. Stay in charge and make those letters large!

**__Bold__:** Making a word or phrase appear thicker shows it has importance. Also, bolding a words serves as almost a magnifying mechanism so the text is easier to see. **Make the word stick out like it's going to shout** !

__Sticky Notes__: Using Post-It or sticky notes for students to place inside a book or on a paper is a very useful strategy. Students can write what is important on their note and then take the note and move it from place to place. If you wanna click-it make sure you stick-it !
