Chapter 5 - Locating Stated Main Ideas Summary

“CRCB”: Chapter 5 - Locating Stated Main Ideas – Summary

In reading this chapter I learned that before you can understand what you are reading you must first be able to identify some information. The first thing you must identify is the author’s main idea. You need to be able to distinguish between general ideas and specific details. As you are reading something, you need to be asking yourself questions the whole time. You need to ask yourself, “what is this about”, “what am I reading”? Asking yourself questions like this and identifying the main idea, the topic and the details, will help you to understand what you are reading much better.
