In yesterday's note, I talked about strategies for finding the main idea of a passage. Here are some examples of questions you may find on standardized tests which require you to find the main idea.
1. What is the main idea of this article?
2. Which of these would be the best title for this passage?
3. Which of these statements best summarizes the passage?
4. What is this passage mostly about?
As you work on the reading passages for Skills Tutor, try to identify the questions asking for the main idea.
