Chapter 5 CRCB : Locating Stated Main Ideas



Topic 
is
- a word or short phrase that summarizes the general ideas presented on a page or in a chapter, book, or journal article.
- most general ideas of reading, not sentences but words or phrases that sum up the subject you are reading about

Previewing is a strategy that helps you mentally prepare for reading new material and involves reading the title of an assignment, the introduction, any headings and, if there is one, the summary. Once you have done this, you should be able to predict the topic.

Main idea is the major point the author makes about the topic.

Details are more specific that prove, clarify, justify, or otherwise support the main idea
