The Importance of Annotating: Enhance Your Reading Experience and Understanding

Why should readers annotate texts? Annotating helps deepen comprehension and engagement with the material. By using symbols like 'Y' (Yes), 'N' (No), 'F' (Fact), and 'O' (Opinion), readers can track their reactions and thoughts directly on the text. This active reading strategy encourages reflection on the author's main ideas, noteworthy facts, and the tone or purpose compared to other works. Reflect on your own habits regarding waste and consider practical actions to reduce it. Get ready to grab your pen and start enhancing your reading journey!
