Being able to craft a summary or "gist" statement while reading is essential for building comprehension. These summary statements help students better understand what they read and remember the most important information in a text. However, summarization can be challenging because it requires deep analysis of the text to synthesize the most important information into a concise overview statement. Explicit routines that break complex tasks into manageable steps can be a powerful tool to support students in mastering complex tasks such as summarization. This session will focus on how to establish clear and consistent routines in partner reading and paragraph shrinking in order to support students' ability to read accurately and summarize key information from a text. Participants will walk away with an evidence-based routine that they can implement immediately with students to enhance overall reading comprehension.
