CRCB Chapter 5 Locating Stated Main Ideas
Summary
The ability to an author’s main idea is key to understanding your reading. In order to see the relationship between the main idea and the details that support it, you must first distinguish between general ideas and more specific ones. The topic is the most general idea. The main idea is the most specific controlling idea of a piece of writing. The details, which are the most specific, support and illustrate the main idea.
Some main ideas are started directly in a reading and are easy to identify. Others are implied, and you must infer their meaning from the reading and then restate them in your own words.
