It supports comprehension through both the first reading when in dialogue with the text, and through the re-reading of the annotations to cement retention.

Students could be given a specific skills such as predicting, inferencing, or envisioning and take a picture of a specific portion from their independent reading book that could be used to practice this strategy. Students could use digital annotations to respond to their text and then upload to a place like Padlet to share with their peers. This could also be used for read aloud and have students commenting on the same book with a pre-chosen passage from the common text and the teacher can pose a guiding question or a skill.

Digital annotations can support reading comprehension by giving students multiple ways to react to a text - underlining, highlighting,  adding their own ideas in text. By using icons like question marks, emojis, etc, students can highlight important information and sections of text.
When going back to a text, they can be rereading not only the text but also their annotations.

By working with screen shots, it also allows students to work on a small chunk of reading at a time. Longer texts can be overwhelming for many students and digital annotations chunk the work for students, making it more accessible.
