Text to Diagram Matching

This interactive worksheet helps students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 strengthen reading comprehension and visual literacy by connecting written passages to visual diagrams that represent their organizational structure. As students read short informational texts and match each one to a corresponding diagram-such as a timeline, flowchart, or cause-and-effect web-they deepen understanding of how ideas are sequenced, compared, and related. The activity supports cross-modal thinking by linking text-based information with graphic representations.
