The previously available resources related to visual devices and text features have been removed due to lack of alignment with Raz-Plus texts and the inclusion of inaccurate or outdated content. These materials did not support comprehension effectively and are no longer part of the instructional offering.
To support meaningful instruction around text features and visual devices, educators are encouraged to use authentic examples embedded within current Learning A-Z texts.
