Clarence Fisher, in his Remote Access blog posted an interesting activity about annotating text as an exploration of literacy. This seems like a terrific activity that brings those automatic skills good readers exhibit up to a more conscious level.
For a better description of the activity see his post here:

Just a few days later, Vicki Davis posted an interesting exploration of what I’ll call annotated text on her blog, Cool Cat Teacher Blog. I was struck by the similarities between Fisher’s example image and example number 6 from Davis.

Another example of posted deconstructed or annotated text can be found on the Remote Access blog here:

It looks like you could use JKN (http://info.jkn.com/) or Trailfire (http://www.trailfire.com/) do accomplish something similar with web pages, though I haven’t used either and suspect there may be even better tools available.
