When you summarize a text, you find its essentials. You think about what you’ve read and decide what matters most. That’s why summarizing builds critical-thinking skills. Summarizing can help you focus on the most important parts of a text and keep them organized in your head. It makes it easier to understand and remember what you’re reading.
because you’re evaluating the text to decide what’s most important
because you’re critiquing the text to determine if it was interesting or boring
because you’re using your imagination to write a new ending
because you’re combining what you’ve learned in one text with your background knowledge
