This volume includes Sophia Dorothea, wife of George I; Caroline Wilhelmina Dorothea, wife of George II; and Charlotte Sophia, wife of George III.

There is a "summary" (sort of) at the beginning of each chapter. It looks like mini chapter names. It has no punctuation to speak of. Do I need to read that part or go straight into the beginning of the chapter? Thanks!!

Yes, please read it.
You will find some BCs ask you to read it and some ask you to skip it. (It is known as an "abstract" and is basically a summary of the chapter)

I found a really good website for word/name pronunciations: https://www.howtopronounce.com/ if anyone needs to use it. I know I have been using it a lot as I prepare to read my section!
