Description
If you are looking for a nonfiction comprehension resource that focuses on main idea and concrete details, this one will help. I created this main idea resource for upper elementary (grades 4-5) students to be able to demonstrate their understanding of nonfiction texts by choosing the most appropriate details that support the main ideas . I wrote the passages to be just long enough for teachers to quickly assess whether students know the skill. the main ideas are listed and students must choose between two details that directly support that main idea. Use this deck as part of your literacy block, intervention, or whole group guided reading. The topics can be springboards for further research. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.4.1 Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.4.2 Determine the main idea of a text and explain how it is supported by key details; summarize the text. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.5.1 Quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.5.2 Determine two or more main ideas of a text and explain how they are supported by key details; summarize the text.
