Interpreting visual information in texts
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
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Interpreting visual information in texts means practising the idea at the table with a short text or prompt and one clear check. We will demo once, then your child tries.”
Bring to the table
- A short prompt card or picture
- Timer or turn tokens (optional)
Extra for the adult
Worked example. “I think the character is brave because she knocked on the door.”
Optional challenge. For Interpreting visual information in texts, add one harder example after success.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: examples tried; results; support used. This session samples Interpreting visual information in texts, not mastery.

Check understanding
- 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
“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?”
