Teach Year 6 students to find main idea and supporting details in fiction and informative texts using the TISP strategy - a systematic, 4-step framework that works on any text.

Students often confuse topic with main idea, or struggle to identify implied main ideas. This unit gives them a repeatable strategy: Topic, Important Sentences, Shared Point, Paraphrase. By Lesson 7, students apply it independently to unseen texts.

4-point assessment rubric with teaching notes
