Interpreting visual information in texts

解读文本中的视觉信息

Description

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

Mastery Evidence

✓ 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

Assessment Prompt

When your child 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?
