Nonfiction Texts
• Nonfiction texts give facts.
• In a nonfiction text, some facts
and ideas are more important
that others.
To understand nonfiction
text, you need to identify
the most important ideas,
or the main ideas.
• A lot of times, the first
sentence in a paragraph
tells you the main idea for
the whole paragraph.
•
• DETAILS: Pieces of information
that support main idea
• DETAILS: Often author states
main idea in topic sentence/ May
appear at beginning of a nonfiction
passage
• Identifying main idea & details will
help you better understand what you
read
Summarizing What You Read
• When you read, pause
periodically to summarize
sections of text.
• Remember to look for the
main ideas in each section
of text.
To paraphrase is to retell what you
have read in your own words Without
changing the meaning
• Replace some words with synonyms
• Change the order of some words
with ideas
• Be careful not to change the
meaning of the text.
• Keep your paraphrased passage
about the same length as the original
Paraphrase

bones they found were the remains of mythical
creatures.

they thought they had found the remains of
legendary beasts.

order change. Look at example on next slide.
