Reading Graphics

You see graphics every day: traffic signs on the way to school tell drivers how to be safe, diagrams in books show how something works, graphs online turn math into pictures, and tables in print provide many numbers in one place. Graphics open a world of information to you!

Look at That!

This chapter helps you read four different types of graphics: symbols, diagrams, graphs, and tables. Each type provides information in a visual form. When you read graphics, you get information . . . without all those words!
