PAPERSLearning, Teaching and LeadershipA blog for educators, researchers and other
thinkers by Sarah Elaine Eaton, Ph.D.Reading strategies: Differences between summarizing
and synthesizingThis semester I am teaching a course on Becoming an Effective Learner at
the University of Calgary. I have asked my students to do a reading synthesis assignment on
the different readings we have each week. In today’s post I’m sharing some of the
information I gave them about the differences between summarizing and synthesizing
information in terms of reading strategies and research.If you teach reading and you’d like
to share it with your own students, you can download a copy here: difference-between-

and- synthesizing.pdf)Summarizing and synthesizing are both strategies used in reading
and research. They are important skills, as they help learners make sense of what they
reading.Though they are both used as reading comprehension and research strategies, it is
important to recognize that summarizing and synthesizing are different activities. Each has
a different purpose, process and end result.These are the main differences between
them:Summaryo A basic reading technique. o Pulls together information in order to
highlight the important points. o Re-iterates the information. o Shows what the original
authors wrote. o Addresses one set of information (e.g. article, chapter, document) at a time.
Each source remainsdistinct. o Presents a cursory overview. o Demonstrates an
understanding of the overall meaning.Synthesiso An advanced reading

differneces-between-summarizing-and-synthesizing/ 2/4o Pulls together information not
only to highlight the important points, but also to draw your own conclusions.o Combines
and contrasts information from different sources. o Not only reflects your knowledge about
what the original authors wrote, but also creates somethingnew out of two or more pieces
of writing. o Combines parts and elements from a variety of sources into one unified entity.
o Focuses on both main ideas and details. o Achieves new insight.As you are reading
information, be aware of whether you are simply re-iterating what someone else has said,
or whether you are assimilating all the information in order to create one cohesive
document that demonstrates your understanding of the concepts.For both activities, it may
be helpful to write out the main points, using diagrams or charts to help you.Here are some
