Summarizing Strategies

Summarizing is a High Yield Instructional Strategy that deepens understanding and enhances retention by helping students process, organize, and reflect on what they’ve learned. Far more than a simple recap, summarizing requires students to identify key ideas, make connections, and express understanding in their own words—often using higher order thinking skills.
When purposefully placed throughout a lesson and aligned with clear Learning Goals, summarizing helps both students and teachers monitor comprehension, consolidate learning, and identify misconceptions in real-time. It is most impactful when used across the lesson, from brief, distributed checks during instruction to reflective closure tasks at the end. Whether used individually or with collaborative pairs, summarizing supports knowledge construction and prepares students to apply new learning in increasingly complex ways.
