Description

The Main Idea and Details Worksheets provide comprehension passages with multiple-choice questions, making it easy to assess whether students grasp this critical reading skill. The short, one-page stories are perfect for upper elementary students (grades 3–5) to practice identifying the main topic in a text and can also serve as assessment grades.

The printable version includes multiple-choice questions, short-answer options, and a writing reflection page for each passage. The digital version uses Google Forms, allowing teachers to receive graded results instantly upon completion.

Authors often include many details to enhance their writing. These worksheets help students distinguish between details that support an author’s message and those added purely for interest.
