We use note taking for many purposes:
• To list items or activities we don’t want to forget
• To highlight important information in a text
• To summarize reading for later use
• What other uses can you think of?

Staying Focused
It’s polite to point when we’re reading!
Use your finger to help you stay on track with the text you’re reading.

Highlighter
• Use this tool to help you show or remember the most important parts.
• How will you know what is and isn’t important? It depends on what the question is and what you need to know – let that be your guide.

Sticky Notes
• These are good to use when you can’t highlight the text – such as when you’re using a library book.
• You can write notes directly on them
• You can mark the pages with them
