Google Slides:

Interactive Google Slides Featuring High Interest Stories & 75 Reading Activities!This set was designed to isolate and give students targeted practice Finding the Main Idea- a key comprehension skill. By focusing on one comprehension skill at a time, struggling readers will have an opportunity to master that skill and improve overall reading and comprehension skills.

Each story is numbered rather than given a title. The final activity on each slide asks the student to write a title for the story. Having the student write a title is often a very effective way to determine the student's level of understanding about the main idea of the story. The engaging illustrations were designed to bring the story to life and help capture the interest of reluctant readers. The questions specifically focus on helping students get the main idea.

Each slide includes an appealing mini-story followed by simple, story-related questions to test comprehension. The stories begin with a vocabulary of one-syllable words and progress to stories that include some multi-syllable words.
