Topic, Main Idea, and Supporting Details
We read many things in school and at home. In class, we read stories and chapters in our science and social studies books. In the hallway, we read signs like Exit and Office and School News. After school, we read the name of our bus, and we watch for the Walk signal when we cross the street. At home, we read directions when we play a game and when we follow a recipe to make Mom’s special cookies.
We will pick out the topic, main idea and supporting details together!
