These summarizing worksheets and graphic organizers are a great way to help students practice writing clear, concise summaries. The fiction passages were engaging and age-appropriate, and the organizers provided just the right amount of structure for students to organize their thinking. This resource was easy to implement with minimal prep and worked well for whole group instruction, small groups, or independent practice. It was a great addition to our ELA block!
