    5. SKILL: SUMMARIZE!! What does it mean when you summarize a story? You give (tell or write) a short statement about the most important ideas. It includes the main ideas and most important details. Sometimes the main idea is stated in a topic sentence and sometimes the reader has to figure it out A summary does not include opinions! Good readers summarize as they read.
