  If you want to display only 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.

  Then go to > Settings > Reading and select “summary” rather than “full text” for the RSS Feed entry and then click “save changes” .

  For each article in a feed, show
  _ Full text
  _ Summary
  “save changes”

  Also note that you can use a theme designed to display only excerpts on the front page automatically. This is a list of 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
