About Reading Charts and Diagrams

What this skill is

Informational diagrams, tables, and timelines present facts visually. Children learn to read labels with pointer lines, interpret table headers, and trace timelines chronologically to extract data that supplements the written text.

When children learn it

Reading simple labeled plant and animal diagrams begins in 1st and 2nd grade. Timelines, data tables, and cutaway diagrams are studied in 3rd through 5th grade.

Teaching Tips

  • Point with a finger from each label directly to the part of the illustration it names.
  • Ask your child what information the chart provides that was not mentioned in the main article text.

Common Mistakes

  • Reading timelines in the wrong direction or ignoring the year labels along the scale.
  • Failing to connect a diagram label back to the explanation in the surrounding text.
