❤️ Why you'll love this resource: ❤️
Finding the main idea and supporting details has never been easier! Our main idea resource features graphic organizers and nonfiction passages. Our color-coding system guides students through recognizing text organization. Visualizing the structure of a written paragraph allows students to effortlessly identify the main idea. Each reading passage includes comprehension questions, and is accompanied by answer keys.
- Differentiation: The first five easier passages ask students to find and restate the topic, main idea, and a detail. The second 5 harder passages ask them to find and restate the main idea, a detail, and an example of the detail.
- Boosted Confidence: Watch your students' confidence soar with each exercise, as they hone their analytical skills.
- Improves Writing: This resource not only helps students understand the organization of a written paragraph but also aids in enhancing their own writing organization skills.
- Core Skill Mastery: Seamlessly integrate Common Core skills into one engaging activity.
