What is Marking the Text?
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:
• numbering paragraphs, underlining, and circling.

How do I use Marking the Text?
Based on the reading purpose, students will use marking the text to identify information as they read.
They will begin by numbering the paragraphs they have been asked to read.
Then, as they identify information that is relevant to the reading task, they circle information, making it easier to locate for notes or discussion.
Finally authors claims are underlined
Usually only several claims
