The Auto Annotator is designed to help readers understand texts more deeply by adding clear, useful annotations.

Users can paste a text or upload a document, and the Auto Annotator explains what the text means, what the writer is doing, and why certain details matter. It can support reading in several ways:

Option A — Literacy Skill Annotation
Focuses on one reading skill, such as analyzing rhetoric, tracing an argument, studying tone, or identifying central ideas.

Option B — General Close-Reading Annotation
Adds helpful notes that explain important ideas, word choices, context, purpose, and meaning.

Option C — Classroom-Ready Student Annotation
Makes the text easier for students to follow with simple explanations, guiding questions, and notes on claims, evidence, and rhetorical moves.

Option D — Something Else
Allows for a different kind of annotation based on the user’s needs.

In simple terms, the Auto Annotator helps turn difficult or dense writing into something clearer, more teachable, and easier to read closely.

The Auto Annotator supports the Science of Reading because it helps people understand texts more clearly. It points out important ideas, confusing words, sentence meanings, claims, evidence, tone, and the author’s purpose. This helps readers slow down, notice what matters, ask better questions, and build meaning from the text instead of just reading the words or answering questions. It also helps teachers give students support with difficult texts without doing all the thinking for them.
