Graphic Sources

Graphic sources, or graphic
aids, show information in a visual
way. Maps, chart, tables,
diagrams, and pictures are some
examples of graphic sources.
Graphic Sources
Looking at graphic sources
before you read will help you see
what the text is about.
 Do not skip graphic sources.
Look at them as you read to help
yourself understand the text.

Simile
A simile is a comparison of two unlike
things that are alike in one way.
 Similes contain comparison words
such as like or as (“as quiet as a
mouse”).
 Writers use similes to draw attention
to certain qualities of one or both
things being compared.

Context Clues
Homonyms are words with the same
spelling and pronunciation but different
meanings and origins.
 Find the selection words listed in the
chart and use context clues to decide
on the meaning of the word in the
selection.
 Write the meaning of the word’s
homonym, using a dictionary if needed.

Encyclopedia
Where might you find information
about the moon?

information about many different
subjects.
 Many encyclopedias are made up of
a set of volumes, or books.
Information is organized
alphabetically by topic.

Encyclopedia
An entry is the information on a
particular topic and begins with an
entry word that names the topic.
 A key word is a search word you think
of that identifies the information you
are trying to find, such as moon. Look
for an entry word that matches your
key word. If you can’t find a match,
think of another key word.

Encyclopedia
Entry words for names are listed
with last names first. So if you’re
searching for information on
Michael Collins, look for the entry
words Collins, Michael.
 A guide word is a word in dark type
at the head of the page. It
indicates the first or last entry of
