Pages 1 to 6 are three texts, each on its own page with its questions on the next: the two main ideas, their details, a quote, an inference and a summary. Page 7 works with any nonfiction text. Pages 8 and 9 are a listen and answer pair: read page 8 aloud, then hand out page 9.
Have students mark each paragraph with the main idea it supports, 1 or 2, in the margin. Then they pick the one detail for each idea that they would keep in a summary.
After your child reads, ask for the two most important ideas, then for one exact sentence from the text that proves each one.
Texts about lions, yaks and skunks, written at a 5th grade level, each with two main ideas. Children find each main idea and the details that support it, quote the text exactly, and sum each text up in their own words.
