This resource gives middle school ESL students 4 days of focused practice identifying the main idea and supporting details in short informational texts. It's designed specifically for multilingual learners, so the passages are short, the directions are clear, and every activity includes sentence frames to help students respond in writing.
Each day includes a short informational text with structured questions that guide students to identify the main idea, recognize supporting details, and explain their thinking using text evidence. All four activities come in three differentiated versions: Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced , so your whole mixed-level class can practice the same skill at the right language level.
Works well as a daily bell ringer, reading warm-up, or test prep activity in middle school and high school ESL classrooms.
What's included: 4 days of practice · 3 proficiency levels (Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced) · sentence frames · structured questions · answer key · printable PDF + Google Slides
Best for: Grades 6–9 · ESL & multilingual learners · mixed-level classrooms · reading test prep
