Annotation forces students to slow down and to understand the text. That is good as our students usually read the text once before answering the questions based on their memory of the text!

Annotations promotes slower but active reading. While this is good for some pupils, better pupils will find that it can be frustrating as it slows down their reading of the whole passage/article. However, the use of asterisks during first reading and the actual annotation symbols for the second reading can help mitigate this complaint.

Annotation is very important in helping the reader to reach a deeper level of engagement. I’d really like to be able to teach annotation better esp with the upper Pri classes. Ideally, I would also like to get them to enjoy doing annotation (few seem to like it at present)
