SAMPLE
Strategy: Annotate the Text
Definition:
According to
New York State’s Response to Intervention: Middle School Demonstration ProjectLinks to an external site.
, the text annotation strategy allows readers to take ownership of what they are reading by writing notes, symbols, bullet points, circles, underlining, and any other written features to promote comprehension. It can be used across content areas and coupled with other comprehension strategies. Text Annotation allows students to document their thoughts while engaged in reading.

Using The Strategy
This strategy could be utilized in a social studies lesson. For example, students are reading a section of a social studies chapter about Railroads during the Industrial Revolution. Students could use sticky notes to annotate the pages and use the symbols in the handout to bring attention to important words, personal connections, and any areas of confusion. After reading the teacher can ask students to share some of the symbols they used, where they used them and why. Text annotation makes the reading process a more active learning experience versus passive and can increase student attentiveness during reading.
