Main Idea Choice

Students read a passage about online learning and select the multiple-choice option that best expresses the main idea. They must also justify their choice and explain why other options are weaker. This exercise strengthens comprehension, reasoning, and evaluative judgment. It encourages close reading and helps students differentiate between broad central ideas and supporting details, a key literacy skill across grade levels.
