An Examination of Strategic Difficulties in Summarizing Texts
Abstract
dc:descriptionThis study examined the possibility that some eighth-graders' difficulties with summarization may be linked to deficits in strategic skills. Summarization was selected for study because it is an important task and one that many students find difficult. Furthermore, by studying the strategies involved in summarization, we may learn more about comprehension in general.
