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 (You get to choose whether to use the Google version or the printable version.)
2. Main Idea PowerPoint with a companion handout (You have my permission to convert this to Google Slides, if you wish. Also, the companion handout includes both a printable version and a Google Slides version.)
3. Concentration Game
4. I Have Who Has: Topic and Details Game
5. Main Idea and Best Title Worksheets: Read, America, Read (I use this as an assessment!)
6. Main Idea and Details: Two FREE Passages
7. 30 Task Cards (You get to choose whether to use the printable version, the Google Slides version, or the Google Forms version.)
8. 5 passages with graphic organizers! (You get to choose whether to use the Google version or the printable version.)
