Reading Strategies & Informational Text—starting with page 1 Inference is an educated guess. Every good inference needs evidence from the text to support it.

Objective Summary: For a story, you should retell the plot elements. For Nonfiction, retell the main idea plus some major details.

Informational ReadingMAIN IDEA- Central idea of the entire passage—

every paragraph has to support the main idea

STATED- Main idea is written directly in the article. It is usually the first sentence but can be anywhere in the paragraph. (Same as topic sentence)

IMPLIED- Main idea is found by reading each

sentence and deciding what major idea the author is trying to teach you using these sentences.

Summary vs. ParaphraseSummarize- Use the basic idea of a source,

but make the summarized idea shorter and in your own words.

Paraphrasing- Use the basic idea, but change the language and the order of the words. The idea and length do not change.
