A field guide helps a reader identify a living thing found outdoors, and every entry uses the same headings so facts can be found fast and compared. This worksheet gives students an entry for the American Robin and has them read it heading by heading.
The reference box, the field guide entry, and Section A are all on page 1. The reference box explains how a field guide is organized and why it is not read front to back. Section A has eight questions answered directly from the document. Section B on page 2 has four short-response questions.
