Understanding and Creating Visuals

Reading Beyond Words

Visuals like charts, graphs, infographics, and maps often appear in reading passages, especially on tests and in the real world.

How to Read Visuals

  • Look at titles and labels for clues.
  • Check the scale or key to understand data.
  • Link the visual information to the text.

Making Your Own Visuals

Drawing your own chart or diagram can help you organize ideas and explain them to others.

Real-Life Uses

These skills help you understand data for science projects, presentations, and news stories.

Examples

  • You use a bar graph to compare class test scores.

  • You read an infographic about recycling to learn new facts quickly.
