Main Idea

There are many skills you can use to improve your reading comprehension (the ability to read and understand the meaning of a text). One of these skills is finding the main idea. The main idea of a reading selection is its most important part. The main idea is also what the author wants you to understand or remember about the selection. Other reading comprehension skills include: sequencing, recognizing inferences and conclusions, and using context clues.

Sometimes the main idea is plainly stated in one or more sentences in the selection. At other times, you will have put all the details about the topic together and decide what the author wants you to understand about the text. Details are pieces of information that tell about the main idea. Details explain the main idea, telling who, what, when, where, why, or how. Details can describe a person, place, or thing. Details can tell the order in which events happen. And details can explain how to do something. There are several ways to find the main idea of a reading selection.

The Reading Watch Dog says Keys to Finding the Main Idea 1 The first - photo 5The Reading Watch Dog says,
Keys to Finding the Main Idea
1. The first step in finding the main idea of a text is to read the title. Titles very often include important words that will give you clues to the main idea.
2. Sometimes the main idea is stated in the first or last sentence of a paragraph.
3. If the main idea is not clearly stated, pay special attention to the details. By reading them, you should be able to decide what the author thinks is most important about the text.
4. Look for a word or words that are repeated several times. They are clues to the main idea of the text.
5. Pay attention to pictures, captions under the pictures, words in dark print, or words and phrases in italics.

Knowing how to find the main idea of a written text or a speech or story will be very helpful to you in the future. All reading tests will ask you questions about finding the main ideas of stories or reports. And listening for the main idea of a speakers presentation will help you remember its most important idea and the supporting details.
