Smekens Educational Solutions: Expose K 2 Readers to Annotation Strategies

Curated by ACT

This article discusses how to begin teaching students in K-2 to record their ideas about text using highlighters, colored pens, large graphic organizers, and sticky notes. Students can retell a story with a storyboard, use a web to find the main idea and supporting details, or compare the details of two topics using a T-chart. Samples of these exercises are provided. The lessons could easily be done using an interactive whiteboard and the charts, etc. saved for display or review in later lessons.
