Summarise what you read in three points
Why this matters
If you cannot summarise what you read, you have not truly grasped it. Boiling it down to three points proves understanding and makes it easy to recall and share.
What you need
Something you have just read and a moment to reflect.
These are everyday items. If you don’t have one, look for the closest alternative — the steps will tell you what to use instead.
How to do it
Follow these steps in order. Take your time. You’ve got this.
After reading, look away and ask yourself what the piece was really about.
Write the three most important points in your own words.
Check them against the text and adjust anything you missed or got wrong.
