Text features are special parts of a book or article that help readers find information easily. Examples include headings, which tell you what a section is about, and captions, which explain pictures. For instance, if you see a heading that says 'Animals in the Rainforest,' you know that section will talk about rainforest animals. These features make reading more fun and help you understand the text better.
