Main Idea & Details Reading Comprehension Escape Room & Webscape™ 4th 5th Grade

⚡ Put your main idea magic skills to the test! This no-prep 4th & 5th grade reading comprehension escape room is perfect for practicing main idea skills in a meaningful and engaging way.

✨Your students will embark on a journey through wizard school, where they will face four unique challenges that will put their main idea skills to the test. Each challenge requires students to read texts and answer multiple-choice questions that have been carefully crafted to help them identify the main idea and supporting details in a text.

⚡But that's not all! To unlock the secret code and complete each challenge, students must use Merlin's Secret Decoder, a powerful tool that will guide them on their quest. And with each challenge they conquer, students will earn items that will help them defeat the evil sorcerer Alwina and graduate from wizard school with flying colors.

Join us on this enchanting journey and watch as your students become Main Idea Wizards!

⭐This main idea focused escape room comes in three low prep and no prep digital and print formats.

• Webscape™ Format - This web-based format provides the most interactive and immersive experience possible. It is self-directed, self-correcting, and contains audio. You can check out my video overview here. You won't believe how engaging this format is until you try it!
• Google Format - Students complete the exercises in Google Slides. They enter their answers into Merlin's Secret Decoder (Google Sheet) self-corrects and tell each student when they can continue to the next challenge.
• Printable Format - Students can use any device to scan QR codes to watch the videos. If no device is available, students can skip the videos and still enjoy the exercise. Students use a printable Merlin's Secret Decoder and answer sheet to decipher the clues and track their answers.

⭐ Integrated videos, magical items, and a wizarding storyline come together to engage students while developing and enforcing main idea skills.

The Webscape and Google Slides versions are self-grading; however, these versions are created to require critical thinking. Students are NOT told which answers are incorrect to prevent guessing and encourage students to think critically about the clues and their responses.

*Please note: The Google Slides format includes embedded videos that are hosted via YouTube. The printable version includes QR codes for these videos. If you plan on using Google or printable formats, please ensure you and your students have access to YouTube. The Webscape version does not require YouTube.
