What does this 3rd grade main idea unit cover?

It introduces the difference between a topic and a main idea, stated main ideas, supporting details, paraphrasing and summarizing both nonfiction and stories. By the end a child should name the main idea of a short passage and list two or three details that back it up.

How does RepeatWatch help with main idea practice?

Set an A–B loop on one Khan Academy worked passage and pause to ask your child for the main idea. Slow a passage to 0.75× for a new reader, save lesson parts on keys 1–9, and use Stop after N loops to keep sessions short.
