It is crucial for teachers to develop strong summarising skills at each level of study in order to guide their work effectively. However, this need is often overlooked. To address this, it is important to implement summarising strategies and assess students’ performance. By analysing their results, we can determine the expected summarising skills at each level. This study examines the summarising skills of primary school and university students. We evaluate and compare the summaries of 40 students and classify them according to their quality. In addition, we analyse the summarising process by observing the students’ approaches. The results highlight key areas for improvement at different levels of education and reveal significant differences between primary and university students. This research provides insights into the development of summarising skills, helping teachers to refine their teaching methods and better support students in mastering this essential skill.
