Finding the Main Idea





        ●     The main idea is the most important message in the story
        ●     It tells you what the whole story is about

        ●     Look for:

        ●     The first or last sentence of the story

        ●     Words that are repeated
        ●     The biggest or most exciting part of the story

        ●     Practice: Read a short news story and try to find its main idea
