As early as grade 2, students must be able to begin to identify a main idea in their reading. The concept of finding a main or central idea and being able to provide an objective summary of a text continues to be found in each grade, up to grade 12.
This product: Determining Central Idea and Writing Summaries for Informational Texts will help your students learn to identify the main or central idea of a nonfiction text, then convert the text to a clear, concise summary.
These can be used effectively in grades 4 and up!
Enjoy!
