Find the Main Idea: Grow a Salsa Garden!

Dig into main ideas and details as you read about salsa gardens in this engaging worksheet!

For each passage, they will need to select the main idea, underline three supporting details, then write a title that relates to the main idea. 

This worksheet is perfect for third, fourth, and fifth graders learning about how writing is structured. They’ll use their reading comprehension skills to identify the most important idea in a text and the evidence and details that support it. These skills are vital for students both in the classroom and in the real world, allowing them to understand the meaning and intent behind what they read.
