Both in Reading and Writing, we have been working on non-fiction selections. In Reading, we have emphasized the skill of finding the main idea. Your child should practice stating the main idea of a non-fiction selection. This is a necessary skill for moving up in TRC reading levels. A main idea should be stated in a complete sentence:
- The main idea of the article/selection/book is that people celebrate New Year's Eve in many ways.
You will notice that the main idea of the selection we read today in class is simply stated in the second sentence of the the article.
There is no homework tonight if your child completed their research for their writing piece.
