Make writing a summary easy to remember for students with this bright and fun colored anchor chart. This summary writing anchor chart is a visual to help students understand how to write a summary of fiction and nonfiction texts. Posting this in your classroom will help students during small groups, whole group, or even as a visual reminder on the wall during independent work time!

Lead your students to become stellar summarizers with a great visual reminder of keywords for summary writing. Students will love being able to look at the anchor chart while working independently to find the best words to use when writing a summary, and you’ll get fewer summaries turned in that are just copies of actual words from the text.

Here’s what you’ll get:

• Instructions for printing poster size (with and without a poster printer)
• Writing a Summary for Fiction and Nonfiction Anchor Chart

Your students will be properly using their resources and getting those summaries written properly for fiction and nonfiction texts.

What’s included on the anchor chart?

• What is a summary
• How to tell about the text (fiction or nonfiction)
• Verbs to use to describe the text
• Parts to include in writing a fiction or nonfiction summary

This resource is ideal for use with a poster printer, but if you do not have a poster printer, instructions are included on how to print the poster, assemble it, and laminate it for year after year use!
