What educators are saying
Description
Determining the main idea of nonfiction texts is a tough skill for primary students! This scaffolded unit will take your students step by step through the processes of identifying the interesting details versus the important information, identifying key details {who, what, where, when, why, how}, determining main idea in pictures and in text, and determining the details that support the main idea.
THIS RESOURCE CONTAINS
---teaching posters for interesting details, important information, wh-questions, main idea, and supporting details
---5 circle maps and coordinating writing paper for each map
---8 nonfiction, single paragraph passages to practice determining Main Idea and Supporting Details
---4 nonfiction, multi-paragraph passages to provide more of a challenge for higher students
---8 graphic organizers to use with any text
This is a zipped file including a color version and a black & white version. I like to project the color version on my SMARTBoard and use the black and white version for making photocopies
