Main Idea for Kids | What is the main idea? | Finding the main idea in books and stories

When a child is learning to read it can be difficult to identify the main idea. In this video we help your kid learn all about the main idea in stories and books. We will learn how to identify what the main idea of a story or book is, tricks on figuring it out, and throughout the video we provide practice opportunities with sample stories that your student can try.

As you know the main idea is the most important meaning of a sentence, paragraph, story, or even a picture. The main idea is sometimes called the topic. The main idea sentence could be at the beginning, middle, or end of a paragraph. When a child is able to identify the main idea and it's supporting details their reading comprehension and enjoyment goes way up!
