This resource gives middle school ESL students 4 days of focused practice summarizing short informational texts. It's designed specifically for multilingual learners with short passages, guided questions, and sentence frames that help students write clear summaries without getting overwhelmed.
Each day guides students to identify the most important ideas in a passage, leave out minor details, and write a summary using evidence from the text. All four activities come in three differentiated versions: Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced, so your whole mixed-level class can work on the same skill at the right language level.
Works well as a daily bell ringer, reading warm-up, or test prep activity in middle school and high school ESL classrooms.
What's included: 4 days of practice · 3 proficiency levels (Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced) · sentence frames · structured questions · answer key · printable PDF + Google Slides
Best for: Grades 6–9 · ESL & multilingual learners · mixed-level classrooms · reading test prep
