Interpreting visual information in texts
English · Reading Comprehension · procedural
Interpret information presented visually, orally, or quantitatively in informational texts (e.g., charts, graphs, diagrams, timelines, animations) and explain how it contributes to understanding the text
What mastery looks like
- Read and interpret data from a chart, graph, or table included in an informational text and explain how it supports or extends the written information
- Explain how a diagram, map, or timeline in an informational text helps the reader understand the topic in ways that words alone might not
- Synthesise information from both the written text and a visual element (graph, illustration, infographic) to draw a conclusion that neither source provides independently
Check your understanding
When Interpreting visual information in texts reads a non-fiction article that includes a chart or timeline, can they explain what extra information those visuals add — beyond what the written text says?
