CRCB Chapter 6 Using Inference to Identify Implied Main Ideas



CRCB Chapter 6
Using Inference to Identify Implied Main Ideas
Summary

In order to understand a paragraph, you need to be able to pinpoint the topic and locate the main idea. The main idea is the "key concept" being expressed. Details, major and minor, support the main idea by telling how, what, when, where, why, how much, or how many. Locating the topic, main idea, and supporting details helps you understand the point(s) the writer is attempting to express. Identifying the relationship between these will increase your comprehension.
