✏️ Story Summary Writing Template Bundle – 10 Print-and-Go Activities!

Does your student need extra support organizing their writing thoughts? This resource is designed to help learners of all levels break down stories into manageable parts and build confidence in writing clear, structured summaries.

Perfect for summarizing any text, this template bundle guides students to identify the WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, and WHY of a story and organize their ideas into complete summary sentences. With 10 no-prep activity pages, it includes both visual organizers and writing scaffolds that are great for small groups, independent work, or reading responses.

As a special education teacher, I created this resource to support students working on writing goals—especially those targeting skills like identifying main ideas, sequencing events, and explaining problems and solutions.

This updated packet includes:

• 10 ready-to-use templates for summary writing
• Graphic organizers with sentence stems and question prompts
• Structured formats to support developing and struggling writers
• Retell & Illustrate page
• Beginning, Middle, End chart
• Character Feelings reflection
• Text-to-Self connection
• Build-Your-Own Summary with word bank

Give your students the tools they need to summarize with success!
