One way to teach/reteach finding the right summary is similar to the way I teach Main Idea. Students have a different color for each answer choice. We read the answer choices one sentence at a time and put a tally next to the paragraph that the sentence connects to.
Next, they add up the tally marks to see which answer choice had the most connections. They ALSO look to make sure that answer choice has connections all the way through the passage. If all of the tally marks are in the middle of the story, then that is not a good summary answer.
A tip I have heard from another teacher but haven't tried is that she has her students start at the end of each answer choice. If the answer choice doesn't include the ending/resolution/lesson, then it most likely isn't a good answer choice.
Again, for intervention I use examples from the lower grade's STAAR.
