This hard worksheet brings kindergartners up to short multiple-choice passages with named characters. Young learners read about Sam who eats apples, grapes, and bananas every day, a dog that runs, jumps, and plays fetch, and Lily who waters her flowers and pulls weeds, then choose the main idea for each. They also pick the supporting detail "We slid down the slide" for the topic "We had fun at the park." Five fill-in sentences then review main, idea, detail, topic, and clues.

Choosing between four similar options pushes kindergartners to weigh each answer against the whole passage rather than grabbing the first familiar word.
