Identifying the Topic and Main Idea in a Non-fiction TextA TOPIC identifies who or what the reading passage is about. A MAIN IDEA is the most important point the author is making about the TOPIC. The MAIN IDEA is often stated in the beginning of the non-fiction text. Main Ideas can be DIRECTLY STATED or IMPLIED. If the Main Idea is DIRECTLY STATED, then it can be found in the reading passage (a sentence or two) which states the topic and main points being made about that topic. If the Main Idea is IMPLIED then the author has chosen not to use a statement/sentence in the passage to tell the reader directly the topic and main idea. Rather, the reader must read the passage and determine the main idea from the information presented. The reader is responsible for composing a statement of the main idea. SUPPORTING DETAILS are the specific ideas and details that develop, explain or support the main idea.

Explain the difference between topic, directly stated main idea and implied main idea in a non-fiction text.
