Supporting Resources

The main idea is the central thought or premise of a reading passage.
The main idea is not always stated in the first or first few sentences. Sometimes it is repeated throughout the text or is not explicitly stated at all. Being able to identify patterns in the details will help students find the main idea in these texts.
Supporting details are reasons, examples, facts, steps, or other kinds of evidence that back up and explain the main idea. Details make up most of the information in what a person reads, but some details are more important than others.
Students often struggle with taking out the details that are not key supporting details. Students should be encouraged to always look back to the main idea and see how the details fit with it.
