Summarizing
 After reading a passage, students should consider what
the sentences they have just read all have in common. By
identifying what it is they explain or describe, students
can find the most important idea.
 Once students have identified the most important idea,
they should review each detail from the passage and ask,
Would I understand the main idea without this detail? If
not, the detail is important.
 A summary should include the main idea of the passage
and key details in order of importance. Students should
write their summaries in their own words, but they
should not include their own opinions.

place, or a real thing.

and captions, and diagrams.

word.

Weeks 18 & 19 Grammar Focus
 A past-tense verb tells about an action that has happened.
 Add -ed to form the past tense of most verbs:

touch + -ed = touched
 Drop the e and add -ed to verbs that end in e:

whistle – e = whistl + ed = whistled
 A regular past-tense verb’s form is used with both singular
and plural subjects in simple and compound sentences:
 I whistled.
 They whistled.

snow, she was very cold.
Grammar: Past Tense Rules

verbs.

ends with a consonant and y:

bury = buried
 Double the consonant and add -ed to verbs that
end with one vowel and a consonant:

beg = begged
