Description
How many times have you read a student summary or response with irrelevant details? Summarizing is a critical skill for readers because summarizing important information allows students to make connections and integrate information efficiently. These Summarizing Nonfiction Passages were written specifically to sharpen students’ summarizing nonfiction skills. It’s really difficult to find informational texts that provide a clear sequence for summarizing! These passages solve that problem. The short passages and questions help students learn how to "check all the boxes" of a great summary. With 3 differentiated levels for each of my 10 passages, your students will have the practice they need to write great informational text summaries in no time!
