Roll and Write Summary
If you are looking for a fun way for your students to practise their summarising skills independently, then these worksheets are for you. Students roll the dice and then write about the key moment from the text. There are 2 options available to use for fiction or non-fiction texts.
This task can be used after reading a whole class text or an independent/guided reading book response.
