SUMMARIZING
Reading is the process of making meaning from text. Good readers fluently engage in four critical comprehension sub-skills: summarizing, generating questions, clarifying meanings, and inferring. When readers summarize literary texts, they are paraphrasing the main events. To summarize is to retell the most important aspects of the plot: problem, solution, and main events.
SCAFFOLDED QUESTIONS
The 24 questions on these task cards are designed to scaffold students through the summarizing mini-skills that good readers do naturally. This includes identifying important details, determining the main idea, and summarizing sections of informational text.
Finally, there are questions that use graphic organizers. These questions ask students to analyze details and determine the best summary of ideas and details.
