About this product
Ask a child what a story was about and you get the whole story back. Summarizing - saying only what matters - is a skill with an actual recipe, and this 6-page pack teaches the two best ones. First the Somebody-Wanted-But-So-Then frame turns any story into one tight sentence: SOMEBODY (the character) WANTED (the goal) BUT (the problem) SO (the action) THEN (the ending). Next, kids shrink a factual paragraph to its one most important sentence. Then the judging page - three candidate summaries per passage, and kids pick which is too broad, too narrow or just right. Last, they write their own summary unaided. A full answer key with sample summaries closes the pack. The natural next step after our Sequencing and Main Idea packs. Print-and-go for grades 2-3 - US Letter and A4 included.
