  Unless your theme automatically creates excerpts for the front page you’ll have to do this manually by adding the Read More tag to your posts. http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/

  Make sure that you always put the tag in its own line. If you add it in or at the end of a paragraph any formatting within the paragraph can cause the tag to mess up the entire post’s formatting.

  You can also control whether your posts display in full or only a summary in RSS feeds like in the Reader. You can set that under Settings ->Reading
