Note taking is when you write down important things you hear or read so you don't forget them later. It's like keeping a memory aid that you can come back to when you need to remember things.
For example, if your mommy tells you to pick up your toys in your room, you can write that down to remember it instead of forgetting and being in trouble later.
When you take notes, you can use a paper and pencil or a computer, and you can write things down in sentences, bullet points, or pictures. It's important to only write down the important information, and not everything you hear or read.
Note taking is helpful for kids in school because it helps them remember important information for tests and homework. It's also helpful for adults at work to remember important meetings, deadlines, and tasks.
