This main idea deck includes:
27 task cards (3 main idea instructional cards and 24 main idea task cards with a variety of questions) with the following tasks for each set of cards:
- Task cards 4-15 are multiple-choice questions that require students to look at an image and then they choose what the image is mostly about.
- Task cards 16-27 are multiple-choice questions that have your students read a small passage and then choose the main idea of the passage.
This resource is completely digital. As students answer each question, they will receive immediate feedback. This helps students practice independent learning while strengthening skills.
