Reading Standard 2: Central Message/Main Idea

This resource comes with a worksheet for every grade (Pre-k to 12) that will guide students to compare and contrast using ANY text. Each grade level has a learning objective, organizer or activity to help apply the standard to the text. There is also a graphic organizer with vocabulary words for the standard AND a list of all the standards by grade.

Each grade level has a worksheet that:

• Can be paired with any text (both fiction and nonfiction versions)
• Has a kid-friendly objective
• Clear connection to Common Core Reading Standard
• Clear directions
• Incorporates writing about the text

This resource is useful for:

• Teachers needing to differentiate with reading comprehension (ALL students are working on the same reading comprehension focus, but students can work at their level)
• Teachers teaching multiple grade levels
• Guided reading groups
• Reading Centers
• Close reading companions

Homeschool parents teaching students at different grade levels ( great to be paired with my thematic units (students of all ages can learn the same science/social studies topic and focus on the same reading comprehension skill and writing standards while reading books and doing worksheets at their level)
