Social annotaion truly transforms reading from a solitary act into a collaborative journey- exactly what makes it so powerful for students. By engaging with peers' thoughts alongside the text, learners don't just decode words; they see how others parse ideas, ask questions, or connect concepts, which deepens their own graps of the passage. What stands out most is how it models active reading. Over time, this practice turns passive skimming into intentional analysis, as they start to mirror critical thinking they have seen modeled. It's a way to build lifelong reading habits that extend far beyond the classroom.
