Summarizing is such an important skill. When your readers become proficient at summarizing, you will see improvements in their reading comprehension and knowledge retention across all subjects. Summarizing important ideas in a text and ignoring irrelevant ones will allow your students to make connections and integrate information very efficiently. Additionally, they will improve their memory for what is read because they are able to discard all the wasteful clutter of irrelevant details.

This resource includes everything you will need to practice summarizing with your students! I’ve included THREE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF EACH PASSAGE for you to easily differentiate in your classroom! There are also graphic organizers, multiple choice questions, and short-answer questions for your students to practice summarizing.
