Main Idea Bundle (4th, 5th, and 6th grade)

This bundle of activities focuses on identifying the main idea and supporting details of various reading passages. Several activities include test prep elements, because main idea questions tend to appear frequently on standardized tests. It is designed to teach upper elementary and middle school students how to analyze a reading passage for its main idea in a way that will keep them engaged.

As an added bonus, I created 5-6 days of LESSON PLANS that outline how and when I use each of the included resources! You don't have to follow the lesson plan format I provide, of course, but it might be helpful in providing a bit of direction for you.

I invite you to check out the preview of each individual resource:

1. Main Idea and Supporting Details Craftivity: Ice Cream Cones
2. Main Idea and Supporting Details PowerPoint (with a companion handout!)
3. Main Idea and Details Concentration Game
4. I Have Who Has: Topic and Details Game
5. Main Idea and Best Title Worksheets: Read, America, Read (test prep) (I use this as an assessment!)
6. Main Idea and Details: Two FREE Passages
7. Main Idea Task Cards (includes 30 cards!)
8. Main Idea and Details Worksheets: 5 passages with graphic organizers!
9. Main Idea and Details Foldable Craftivity: Our Amazing Earth
