Main Idea Worksheets | Main Idea and Supporting Details Graphic Organizer

⭐ These fiction main idea and key details passages give students multiple opportunities to practice recognizing text organization. When students can see the organization of a written paragraph, they can more easily identify the main idea.

In this resource you will find: anchor posters, graphic organizers that can be applied to any text, color coded fiction practice passages that increase in difficulty, and an answer key.

**This is a printable packet that can easily be used in a home setting. It is not a interactive digital resource. However, you can easily screenshot the pages you'd like to use and insert them into a powerpoint or google slides.

You can also find a similar interactive Google Slides Version HERE.

After several requests, I created this fiction version of my best selling Main Idea (Non-Fiction)resource. (The posters, example, and organizers are the same as those found in the Non-fiction version. My goal in creating this resource was to provide fiction passages for additional practice.)

Included:

Anchor Chart

“How to Find the Main Idea” Poster

Fiction Practice Passages ~ Easy

Fiction Practice Passages ~ Harder

Answer Key

*The easy passages ask students to find and restate the topic, main idea, and a detail. The harder passages ask them to find and restate the main idea, a detail, and an example of the detail.

**I've used this in 3rd - 5th grade, but my own second grader is advanced, and it would work well for him. I've also taught title I 6th graders, and it would work well with them too. :)
