Summarise Spies
This worksheet helps students to identify the key information when summarising a fiction or non-fiction text. They will then use this information to write their own summary of the short text. There is a fiction and non-fiction option available.
You may choose to read through and colour the key information together as a whole class before students independently summarise the text.
