Main Idea Category Cards

Crazy fun for the whole class!

This category game is a fun and helpful way to get students thinking in broad terms about main idea and supporting details.

Effective, enjoyable and easy-to-use, it helps ingrain the big picture (metacognitive) structure of an important reading and writing strategy.

It is also useful in improving verbal communication skills, allowing students to organize thoughts and speak for a few brief moments in front of an audience in a really fun, non-threatening exercise.

112 categories and complete instructions for easy classroom use are included.
