Description
Main Idea Differentiated Bundle – 4th, 5th & 6th Grades
⭐️Students of all reading levels can learn and practice main idea skills with these 24 unique Lexile® certified close reading comprehension passages and question sets that span CCSS Text Complexity Bands for 4th, 5th, and 6th grades.
⭐️Reading comprehension passages are perfect for teaching, developing, or reinforcing main idea & central idea skills. Aligned to RI4.2 RI5.2 & RI6.2, students learn to identify the topic, main idea, and details of a text, and the focus of specific paragraphs within the text. Differentiation allows scaffolding for each student.
⭐️If you do not use Common Core, this packet is still perfect for helping students learn main idea skills.
⭐️Includes standard based questions, anchor charts, and four skills-focused test passages. Questions for passages focus on the specific standard for each grade range.
⭐️Broad differentiation makes this bundle perfect for:
- 4th & 5th grade classes with on, and above-level readers
- 6th grade classes with below and on-level readers
