~Over the next few weeks and months, your child will be talking about something called ANNOTATION.
~Annotating text is when kids write their thoughts, inferences, questions, and ideas right there in the text!
~We just started making annotations...but we plan on being experts by Valentines Day!
~Annotations make it easy to find important information quickly when you look back and review a text. They help you familiarize yourself with both the content and organization of what you read.
