Description
‘Main Idea – Short Texts’ is targeted to children in Grades 2-5 who can read the words (decode), but don’t understand what they read. Beginning readers in earlier grades can also benefit from the targeted skill development.
‘Main Idea – Short Texts’ teaches learners how to identify the main idea of a paragraph. The skill is built incrementally using visual guides.
Key Benefits:
– Builds comprehension skills step-by-step until mastery.

– Fun and engaging Reward Center to increase motivation.

– Advanced levels include timers to ensure fluency. Research shows fluency in the foundation skills is critical to reading comprehension.
– Can be used independently (just hand it over: your child will know what to do!) or with a therapist/parent for reading intervention.
