Marking the Text: What is it? Marking the text is an active reading strategy that asks students to identify information in the text that is relevant to the reading purpose. This strategy has three distinct marks: 1. Numbering paragraphs 2. Underlining 3. Circling.

When should I use it? Ü When students are asked to read arguments, students should underline the author’s claims and circle key terms and names of people who are essential to the argument. Ü While reading passages from a textbook, students should underline information that pertains to the reading purpose and circle names, places, and dates that are relevant to the topic being studied.

Why should I use it? Ü To mark texts effectively, students must evaluate an entire passage and begin to recognize and isolate the key information. Ü Once the text is marked, students will be able to quickly reference information that pertains to the reading purpose.

Ü Underline: -Claims -Information -Definitions Ü Circle: -Details -Key Terms -Names -Places -Dates
