Mark Up Method
Levels PK-12 Content - Any
The Mark Up Method is an active reading strategy that asks students to think critically about their reading. It helps students determine the essential information in a reading passage, isolating it visually from the rest of the surrounding text. While reading the text, students analyze ideas, evaluate ideas, and circle and underline essential information relevant to one’s reading purpose. (Seidlitz, p.89)
