Comprehension breaks down in two predictable places.

Students can't pull the main idea out of a passage — so they summarize everything or nothing. And when they do answer, their evidence is thin: a dropped-in quote with no restating, no explanation, no "so what." On every constructed response, both gaps cost them points.

This bundle closes both. Main Idea & Supporting Details teaches them to find what matters; R.A.C.E. teaches them to prove it. Together they're the full reading-to-writing routine your students reuse all year.
