Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This is an easy to use resource for parents and teachers of children in grades two through four. It explicitly teaches children how to get the main idea from many details in an informational text. Because the main idea is an abstract concept, it is difficult for young readers to grasp. This skill is often not taught explicitly in school; children grapple to learn it on their own. This workbook teaches the main idea using concrete and abstract models so the child progressively gains a firm grasp of this critical element of reading comprehension. The new national academic standards, used in most state tests, expect the child to get the main idea in an informational text and know the relationship between the main idea and details that support or do not support it. Tasks in this workbook prepare the child to be a successful reader and a confident test taker. This workbook can be used to tutor older students and is useful for English Language Learners. Books 2 and 3 expand the concept in more difficult texts. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This workbook is designed as a tool for parents and teachers who want to give a child in grades 3 though 6 the opportunity to learn the abstract concept of main idea in a concrete and progressive manner. Main idea is the cornerstone of comprehension, yet how to get the main idea is seldom explained and modeled in a way a child can grasp its meaning and use it when reading. This workbook is a step-by-step instruction on how to get the main idea in a paragraph, in a layered difficult paragraph, and in a multi-paragraph essay. The child will learn to use the "tools" of text structures (topic sentences, details, parts of an essay---introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion) to get the main idea. Instruction moves from a paragraph to a multi-paragraph essay, and to essays with more than one main idea. The child will also learn to distinguish the most important details and to explain how details support the main idea. Having learned these key elements, the child will use them to write a concise summary. Opportunities are provided for the child to take tests that mirror state tests. These tasks help prepare the child to be successful on school assignments and on high stakes tests that measure the national Common Core State Standards. This item is printed on demand.
