Interpreting Visual Information

CCSS RI.4.7- Interpret information presented visually, orally, or

quantitatively (gramps, charts, diagrams) and explain how the information contributes to an

understanding of the text in which it appears.

What are some places or books that we might see visual

displays?

Read this text and then look at the bar graph. Think about how the information it shows adds to what the text is telling you.

Now look at this table. It brings together facts from the text and the graph.

Using all the information provided to you, within the text and the graph, it gives you a pretty good

idea of what a fish tank looks like.

Most informational text will have visual displays. Studying them and understanding them will help you

fully understand the text.
