  5. Example Rhetorical Précis Robert Marzano in Summarizing to Comprehend (2010) asserts that teachers will see an increase in student comprehension when students are well-versed in effective summarizing strategies. Marzano supports this assertion by reviewing five key strategies that lead to higher levels of comprehension; some of these strategies include: emphasizing text structure to differentiate between essential and non-essential information; learning to decipher expository text structures such as description, argumentation, definition, and comparison; recognizing layers within expository text; creating graphic representations of text structure; and finally, defining essential vocabulary within the text. The writer concludes that in order for students to improve reading comprehension, they must be able to identify developmental patterns within a text. The writer establishes a direct tone to convince his audience of educators that it is vital to use instructional strategies that highlight multiple text structures in order to increase comprehension.
