  The Reading Settings page summary setting changes the RSS feed display only and does not impact the posts on the site.

  If you want to display only post excerpts on the front page of the blog followed by read more links, you can insert “the more tag” into each post prior to publication.

  The read more tag can be inserted once only into any post to change the front page or main page for posts display from full post to an excerpt. The split in the text does not display to you in preview mode but it will be there after the post is published.

  Alternatively, you can switch to using a theme that automatically displays front page excerpts. This is a list of only SOME active themes on WordPress.com that use the excerpt instead of full post content. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410
