My oldest does most of his thinking in his head (probably because of being quite right brained and a serious case of dysgraphia). Nonetheless, I think one of the skills that will help him further on in life (college, meetings, etc.) is being able to annotate text that is more difficult to read.
Here are some resources to look at this fall that I might want to look at a bit closer:
NC Course of Studies happens to have an outline about annotating text:

Colorado University outline of what to annotate and what each section means:

A 6-page outline for annotating which included a test with grading scale for annotation -- not sure the link will work but it's a good outline:
