You can record some of your own questions or paraphrase the subtopics by adding and typing notes.  These are like paper note cards in an electronic format. You can’t lose them.

1. Click the box in front of a green subtopic that has some yellow subtopics.
2. Click "Note" icon on the toolbar. A Note window opens.
3. Write one or more sentences to paraphrase the information related to the key idea.  If the Note is covering something you want to see, drag the note by its title bar to another location on the screen.
4. Click 'OK" icon to close the Note window. The note appears immediately below the subtopic you selected and it is the same color.

There are many other ways that you might use Notes to build higher-level thinking skills.  This is the beauty of an open-ended reading and note-taking tool like Read:OutLoud 6 — it is flexible enough to fit the diverse learning styles and needs of the wide range of learners in today’s classrooms!
