those features to help us answer questions.\u00a0 This week the students have a job to do using an informational book about weather.\u00a0 Each student has three questions and they have to read to find out the answers.\u00a0 The students have been really thoughtful about their work.\u00a0 They have been reading their book and then using the new information to help them.\u00a0 They have also been answering the questions in complete sentences with capital letters and punctuation.\u00a0 Today I met with Emily and she was stuck on one of her questions.\u00a0 I asked her to tell me her thinking and she said &#8220;Well I started off by looking at the Table of Contents.\u00a0 Then I found the page that said Temperature and knew that it would probably give me the answer on that page.&#8221;\u00a0 After using the Table of Contents she was able to answer her question.\u00a0 I&#8217;m excited that now the students not only know what the text features are, but they are able to use them to help them while they read!\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top:
