Sandi Sport –
This was a great resource because of the variety of activities available. Students become bored with the same presentation of material, so this met all of our needs and kept them engaged.

There are so many activities in this resource that you can use throughout the year as this skill cycles over the school year. My students enjoyed using these activities.
Karia G. –
I used this lesson with my students. They were able to find the main idea based on a story that was read in the classroom. My students were able to use the recording sheet to express their thinking.

Students were able to easily show their understanding of the main idea and details by using this resource. I was able to get more ideas by using the author’s blog post.
Rachel V. –
I love how many options there are in this resource! I wish I had time to use them all! My students were totally engaged with the few that we’ve done so far. Thanks for a great resource.
Chris A. –
My students enjoyed recounting stories, including fables and folktales from diverse cultures and determining their central message, lesson, or moral.
anelementaryeducator –
My students really enjoyed this resource! It stated that it was applicable for up to second grade; however, I did not find the activities as rigorous as the demands of second grade. Overall, it was a great resource though!
Jennifer H. –
Thank you for providing such a great resource! My students faces light up when they see that we are making one of the “crafts”.
Emily H. –
I love the various ways to showcase main idea and details. I only used the chair graphic organizer and my students loved it. It’s easy to use and to put together for a bulletin board display. My only issue with this resource is that there are no lines provided for students to write their answers. I work with younger students so having lines would’ve been easier for them to write their responses with.
Megan M. –
I am using this resource to help a student with an IEP goal based on main idea and key details. I have used some of the graphic organizers and they have been helpful.
Ronda S. –

This resource is so helpful when teaching main idea. The graphic organizer are great for whole group teaching and the other activities are great for our centers. I love that this one resource helps with all elements of my reading block.
Dani Leonard –
Great variety of resources to review main idea and details. The creative ways to review this skill are fun. The variety of word sorts were excellent and the “which doesn’t belong” activity is great for higher order thinking.
Raquel H. –
A great resource for teaching the main idea! It not only included engaging templates for teachers and students to fill in but also includes multiple activities that don’t involve reading a book/novel.
Stephanie M. –
This resource made a lot of sense. Students had lots of ways to consider main ideas/details. If they didn’t latch on the first time, there were different opportunities. Thank you for this resource. The mystery bag idea was a great way to start, and I loved printing off the cards and giving students chances to go around the room coming up with the main ideas. Great and thorough resource!
Cynthia N. –
The is a great resources to use for the main idea. I love the large graphic organizers and the students are able to fill in their answers with plently of space to write in.
Anne B. –
I cannot say enough amazing things about this! It aligned with everything we were learning in class and allowed the students to have additional examples and practice with additional resources that they wouldn’t have access to, otherwise. I loved how much is included in this purchase and I will definitely be using it again this year with my new class. Thank you so much!

I LOVE this resource! It made teaching main idea and details so much easier than years past. All I had to do was open this file and choose which activities would fit with the lesson, it made it so effortless!

This is an awesome resource! Unfortunately, Main Idea was a hard topic for my students to learn over distance learning, but that’s not the fault of the creator. They learned a lot more due to this resource!
