Skill of the Week....Main Idea and Supporting Details

Our focus this week is to look at what a text selection is mostly about.  We call that the main idea or topic of our reading.  When we read non-fiction text, we must come away from our reading with a sense of what it was we just read.  Asking the question, "What was that mostly about?" guides us to the main idea of a piece of text.
