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! Try it!
