Description

Do your students struggle to find the main idea of a story, paragraph, or passage? Or, maybe they forget how to find supporting details for a main idea? This seasonal bundle of short reading passages includes simple-to-use graphic organizers for main idea and supporting details. Specifically, the graphic organizers provide a step-by-step strategy for students learning how to find a main idea. Supporting details are strategically placed within the short reading passages so that students can easily practice identifying those small details that support the main idea. With repeated practice all year long, your students will be able to explain how the details of a passage support the main idea.

These PRINT & DIGITAL main idea and supporting details activities include 92 high-interest nonfiction reading passages! Honestly, the topics will spark the interest of students and encourage active participation and learning.

 

A Scaffolded Approach to Main Idea and Supporting Details

When teaching main idea and supporting details, it’s important to start small and basic. This resource uses a scaffolded approach! With this resource, you can provide your students with short, easy-to-read paragraphs with an obvious main idea and easy-to-find supporting details. This strategy helps students get in the habit of focusing on what the text is mostly about. It also allows students to pinpoint key ideas that support and help describe the main idea.

The main idea and supporting details bundle includes 5 different resources that start easy and gradually build on each other throughout the year. For example, using the first resource, the main idea can be found in the first sentence, perfect for beginners just starting to learn how to find a main idea and supporting details. In the next resource, the main idea is found mostly in the first sentence with a few passages including them in the second or third sentence. As you keep using the bundle, the location of the main idea will keep changing, challenging students as their skills increase.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I really love and appreciate this resource. The passages were short but detailed enough for the students to pull the main idea and details from. I also love the print and digital options so that I can meet the needs of both my in-person and virtual students. The topics were well chosen and had many different concepts.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This product is exactly what I needed while teaching my 3rd graders virtually. Not only was it easy to implement, but the reading passages were really engaging to my students. I was able to display my screen to my students and walk them through the process of how to use this resource. Then, they were able to tell me how to successfully complete it. Soon, all of my students were completing this activity on their own and successfully identifying the main idea and supporting details within the passage. They really looked forward to this! I recommended it to all of my teacher friends. Thank you for a great product! – Mountain Teaching in the 21st Century
