Main Idea and Details
• The main idea is the most important idea in a
paragraph. It is often found in the first or last
sentence in a paragraph, but it can be found in
the middle.
• Details are facts and statements that support
and explain the main idea.
T212
Turn to page 203.
• As I read the first paragraph, I see that the first
sentence is “Officer Mike and Aero are
partners.” This tells me what this paragraph is
about. As I continue reading, I look for details
that support and explain that sentence.
• Look at the third paragraph. The first
sentence, “Police dogs are strong and well
trained,” this is the main idea of that
paragraph.
• Find detail sentences that support that main
idea.

wild animals that help each other in unusual

Friends,” in my Read-Aloud Anthology, I see

animals helping one another.
