Reading comprehension challenges affect millions of students, but the solution is surprisingly specific: mastering main idea identification.

HOW IT WORKS - SIMPLE & EFFECTIVE

Students read 3-4 sentence passages covering diverse, age-appropriate topics. Then they analyze four answer choices to identify which sentence best captures the main idea. Smart distractor options challenge critical thinking by including supporting details, minor themes, or unrelated concepts.

Each passage contains one clear main idea while incorporating realistic supporting details that could potentially confuse developing readers. This authentic challenge mirrors real-world reading scenarios.

The four answer choices follow a research-backed structure:

- One correct main idea statement
- One supporting detail that seems important but isn't central
- One overly broad or overly specific interpretation
- One completely unrelated concept to test focus and attention

Every question provides instant feedback, helping students understand whether their choice was correct or incorrect. This immediate reinforcement accelerates learning and builds reading confidence. Students see their reasoning validated or gently corrected, creating powerful learning moments that stick.
