Description
This set of decodable first grade reading comprehension passages and worksheets teaches beginning readers how to find the main idea and key details in the text. These are no prep activities, just print and use!
STUDENTS WILL:
- read a short decodable passage or story
- answer comprehension questions about the story
- identify the main idea
- identify details that tell more about the main idea
INCLUDES:
- 16 Worksheets
- Answer Keys
- Digital Activities
There are 8 sets of worksheets consisting of 2 pages in each set:
PAGE A of each set features a short story or informational passage. Students will read the passage and then use the text to answer three comprehension questions.
Each Passage Features:
- Decodable text with common first grade sight words
- Clear, easy-to-read font
- Uncluttered design that lets students focus on the text
- Answers that can be found directly in the text
PAGE B is a cut-and-paste graphic organizer that goes with the reading passage on page A. Students cut out three statements from the text and glue them onto the graphic organizer to show which is the main idea and which are the details.
Each set also includes answer keys.
Digital Activities
These worksheets are also provided in a digital version in TpT's Easel feature. The graphic organizers feature moveable pieces with self-checking answers. These activities can be assigned for students to complete on any device.
While these activities are designed to teach main idea, they also help first grade students practice reading grade-appropriate text and referring back to the text to find answers.
When answering the comprehension questions, I like to have my students highlight where they found the answers (as pictured on the cover). This shows me that they looked back into the text to find the information.
These work well as homework, in literacy centers, or even for assessment. They are also excellent for students with a main idea IEP goal because they let you easily target the skill and collect specific data.
