📚🔍 Text Feature Scavenger Hunt in 4th Grade! 🕵️‍♂️🕵️‍♀️ Mrs. DeLattre’s 4th grade class at North Augusta Elementary had a blast during a Text Feature Scavenger Hunt this week! Students became reading detectives as they searched through nonfiction texts, looking for clues like headings, captions, bold words, diagrams, glossaries, and more. Their mission? Find each text feature and explain how it helps the reader better understand the topic! This fun and interactive activity supports South Carolina ELA Standard 4-5.1, which encourages students to "explain how text structures and features contribute to the meaning and purpose of a text." By exploring real examples, students gained a deeper understanding of how authors use these tools to inform and engage readers. 📖✨ Way to go, 4th graders—your detective skills are impressive! #NAUESShines #TextFeatureFun #SCStandardsInAction #4thGradeRocks #EngagedLearners #LiteracyMatters #WeAreNAUES
