Hey everyone! Annette and I have gotten a lot of questions about how to find the main idea of a reading over the last few weeks. Finding the main idea is a really important skill for both the TABE test as well as the GED test, so I found a couple of resources that should help you understand main ideas better.
The first resource is from BrainPOP, and it includes a short (4:32) animated movie about finding the main idea in a newspaper editorial. There is also a quiz you can take, activities to practice, and games you can play to help you understand more. Check it out here: https://www.brainpop.com/english/writing/mainidea/ If you're ready for a challenge, I found another quiz - with 40 questions! - that you can practice with. Click the link below, then click "play this game" to start the quiz: https://www.quia.com/pop/120023.html Keep working hard! Only four more classes to go! -Teacher Jenny
