Summarising the Text: SWBST Somebody, Wanted, But, So Then - Australian Fauna and Flora Classroom Decor
SWBST (Summarising the Text or Summarizing the Text) is a simple yet powerful strategy that helps students identify the most important parts of a story.
By focusing on Somebody, Wanted, But, So, Then, students learn to summarise narratives clearly and confidently — perfect for improving comprehension and retelling skills.
Each poster breaks down one step of the strategy to guide students in identifying the character, their goal, the problem, the solution, and the outcome.
