Description

These spinners are the perfect addition to the Summarising comprehension unit as they allow students to verbally discuss and summarise the key information from texts they have read. Students are given different prompts to discuss the text they have read. There is a fiction and non-fiction option available. 

These spinners can be used as part of a guided reading session, or provided to pairs or small groups as part of your literacy rotations to allow students the opportunity to discuss and summarise the key information in the texts they have read.
