Main Idea Cards

I 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.

Kids Love the Decoder
Quality

I 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.

I 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.

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!

I 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.

I 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.

I 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 Idea

Identifying 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.

"We" love this product. The kids love the self checking secret decoder. It not only keeps their attention while working on main ideas, it allows me to adjust reading levels amongst kids in the group. Keep the great products coming.

I recently covered a maternity leave for a school based SLP who had very few language materials for grades 3-5. I did not panic but went straight to Super Duper's website and found many great materials. This product helped make my job easier and was fun for my students. The students loved the secret decoder and practiced their reading skills while expanding their vocabulary!
