Identifying the main idea can be tricky for first and second graders. But this simple main idea supplemental resource will help your students follow along, understand, and have fun. Students cut and paste the main idea and highlight a supporting detail from the story. These passages are short and simple, making it ideal to accompany your existing main idea lesson, or to act as an exit ticket or supplemental activity. This set includes 20 simple passages.
