The title is the name that is
attached to a piece of writing.
The title is sometimes called a
heading. The title is just one
type of text feature, or an
element that helps organize or
call attention to important
information.

that’s been given with the title.
This is a visual element that
both clarifies the tittle’s
meaning and draws your
attention to the text.

information you read.
