READING
Introduction
Hi readers! Today, we will be reviewing the main idea.
When you are trying to figure out the main idea, think about the Goldilocks Strategy. Goldilocks was a little girl who went to the house of the Three Bears and tried out their items. She ate their porridge, one was too hot, another too cold, but the last one was just right. She slept in their beds, one was too hard, another too soft, but the last one was just right!
We want to do the same thing with main idea. We don't want a main idea that is too broad. We don't want one that is too specific. We want a main idea that is just right and fits the whole passage.
Today, we will be reading a text about George Washington. Think about the text and what the main idea could be!
