3) Find the Main ideas
- Try to get the main idea of every paragraph plus a few facts.
- you will not get all the facts but you may get some.
- sometimes the main idea is not in the first sentence, sometimes it is in the middle or the end of the paragraph.
- this may take extra time to find.
- some paragraph may not have a main idea.
- the final paragraphs often summarize the story or article so they may be worthwhile to read more fully.
