MAIN IDEA!!!!
You have just finished reading a short story to your teacher.
“Good reading!” she says. “What is the main idea?” You
reply, “The main idea?” The teacher says, “Yes, what is the
main idea of the story you read?”
If you were stumped then about the main idea, or if you have
EVER been stumped by that question, here is an idea that
can really help you.
The main idea is the main reason that the
story was written.
I’m sure you can tell me the main reason for lots of
things...without even reading!
