Do you know what one of the most difficult writing skills is for a lot of people? Yep, the title of the post gives it away - summarizing! Who can tell me what I mean when I say "summarizing"? Summarizing is when you put something in your own words and condense the content into just a few paragraphs.
Today, we will practice summarizing on our blog. First, go to the Time for Kids website and pick out an interesting article. Read the entire article and minimize your screen. Open up Typepad in a new window, log in, and start a new post. Your post will be a summary of the article you read. Remember to give a good title and include all the important parts of a paragraph!
