This collection of resources is for teaching your little ones about summarizing, using the format "Somebody-Wanted-But-So." Every fiction story can pretty much be summarized using this trick (Cinderella wanted to go to the ball, but her stepmother wouldn't let her, so her fairy godmother helped her and she got to go.) It contains the following:
* Introduction to Somebody,Wanted,But,So
* SWBS Poster
* SWBS Fairy Tale Example Poster
* 3 SWBS Response/Recording Sheets
* SWBS flip book template
I have been looking around for ideas to teach summarizing with my students. I have not used this strategy before, but I want to give it a try. I like the poster and example using a familiar text.

How can I purchase this? When I did the free download, only 2 pages came out untouched. The other pages have big black marks thru some of the words? I eally like this and would like to have it complete. Thanks! Jill Brumbaugh
