Check understanding
- Use a contents page to find information on a specific topic in a non-fiction book
- Identify the purpose of headings, glossary, and index in an information text

“When your child is using a non-fiction book for a school project, do they know how to use the headings, contents page, and index to find what they need quickly?”
