Highly RecommendThis is great for my 7th grade RSP and English Language Learner students. Did I mention my students highly enjoy this product! They absolutely live using the secret decoder!
-
Main Idea CardsI use these cards with students ranging from second grade to fifth grade. There are two levels of cards which helps address different levels of students at the same time. The kids LOVE using the 'secret decoder' to see if they answered correctly.
-
Main Idea FunThis is ten times better than boring old worksheets. My students love using their secret decoders to check their answers. What a great way to engage students in learning! Thank you Super Duper.
-
Kids Love the DecoderI have used the Secret Decoder materials before (Social Inferences)and the students love to pass the decoder around the group to check their answers. The students seem to be more engaged in the activity when they get to read the scenario, answer the question, and then check for correctness.
-
Great BuyI use this product with 5th through 8th grade students. Having two separate decks to work with make it easy for me to have students with varying levels of reading and comprehension in the same group. Great Buy.
-
Great main idea activity!Great material for working with main idea! I love the short stories, making it easy to fit in quite a few in each session. It's great that there are two levels. My students love using the decoder to find out if they are right! Very motivating and they really get invested. I also appreciate the game suggestions. Keeps things interesting. Enjoying using this easy, kid-friendly main idea game!
-
Very Fun & Educational!This is a great resource to help children understand how to know what the main idea is in a story or paragraph. The secret decoder is very motivating and made the game extra fun for my son! I also appreciate that there are two different levels of cards for older and younger children. Great product!

Main idea fun deckI love all the fun decks I purchased. I wish the main idea one also came in a simpler, phonetically controlled one for first graders with reading difficulties.
-
My new fav.This is my new favorite item. The secret decoder is very motivating to kids as well.
-
Fun!My kids like that this is like a game, instead of a worksheet. They love the "laser!"
-
Great productI was back and forth about keeping this in my cart, but I am very glad I left it in! Easy short stories to really target "MAIN IDEA", instead of doing it once in the whole session from one longer story.
-
Main IdeaI frequently use this in speech therapy . It is very engaging for children, and they enjoy the manipulation of the light. It also elicits expansion of the language around concepts presented in the material.
-
Main IdeaIdentifying the main idea was part of our school goal this year, so this resource really helped me teach the concept to my ESL students. As well as identifying main idea, students had to explain which details helped them identify the main idea. It's great and the little flash light is a fun way of checking if the answer is correct.

The students loved the secret decoder and practiced their reading skills while expanding their vocabulary!
