Monitoring Comprehension with Text Annotations
This Monitoring Comprehension Strategy poster has been designed by a teacher to help students become active, engaged readers! This easy-to-use classroom resource provides simple, visual annotation symbols that students can apply while reading to track their understanding, ask questions, and make meaningful connections.
Some of the symbols include:
- Heart for mood.
- Exclamation point for something new they have learnt.
- Circle for something they don’t understand
- Tick for something they DO understand.
A Quick and Effective Reading Strategy
Text annotations are a powerful reading comprehension strategy that encourages students to interact with the text as they read. By marking key ideas, highlighting unfamiliar words, and summarizing sections, students develop a deeper understanding of the text and improve their ability to retain information.
This quick-reference poster makes it easy for students to apply these strategies independently, during guided reading, or in group discussions.
