Main Idea Chart

When we have finished reading a story, we need to be able to know the details listed and the main idea of the story, or what the story is mainly about. One way to help us understand is by making a Main Idea chart. This is what a Main Idea Chart looks like:

Main Idea

Detail:__________________________________________

Detail:__________________________________________

Detail:___________________________________________

Main Idea:_________________________________________

This Main Idea Chart allows us to list 3 different details from the story and then leads us to the main idea of the story!
