Main Idea and Details

about a topic. Details are small pieces of
information that tell more about the main
idea.
Sometimes the author states the main idea
of a paragraph or an entire article in a
single sentence at the beginning, middle, or
end. Other times the author leaves the
main idea unstated, so readers must put it
into their own words.
