Help Students Find the Main Idea With Printable Bookmarks

Are you focusing on the comprehension skill of finding the main idea and supporting detail in a piece of text? This set of printable bookmarks will be the perfect addition to your teaching and learning as an extra resource your students can use to help them understand the difference between the main idea and supporting detail in a text.

Each bookmark has a variety of information to suit the needs of your students. You can choose the one that best suits what you need for your students; alternatively, you could print two and stick them together to create a double-sided bookmark of main idea goodness.
