Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
This worksheet focuses on reading comprehension skills, specifically identifying the main idea and supporting details. The paragraph provides safety tips about thunderstorms, which can engage students with real-world knowledge. Teachers can discuss the importance of each detail and how it supports the main idea. Encourage students to explain why they chose each detail. The ice cream cone graphic is a visual organizer to help students separate the main idea from details. For assessment, check if students correctly identify the main idea as the overall message about thunderstorm safety and select relevant details that support that message.
