What children learn in Level 56
- Welcome to the Expedition Lab! Longer texts often have more than one main idea. Each section can add its own.
- To find a main idea, ask what most of the sentences are about. Headings can help too.
- Then find the details that support each one. A good detail proves the idea, and it's a fact you can point to.
