Uncovering the central idea
- The central idea is the most important point the author is trying to make about a topic.
- To find it, look for ideas that are repeated or emphasized throughout the text.
- Ask yourself: What is this whole text mostly about?
- Textual evidence is a specific detail from the text—like a quote or a fact—that proves your point.
- When you make a statement about a text, you must back it up with evidence.

Reading Between the Lines
- An inference is a smart guess you make based on clues in the text combined with your own knowledge.
- Authors don't always state everything directly; they trust you to infer, or figure out, the rest.
- To make a logical inference, first find clues or evidence in the story.
- Then, think about what you already know about the world.
- Combine the text clues and your background knowledge to draw a conclusion.

Use antonyms (opposites) or synonyms (words with similar meanings) that appear nearby. The relationship between words can also be a clue, like cause and effect ('The immense pressure would crush a normal submarine'). Connotation is the feeling a word suggests; 'slimy' and 'silky' have very different connotations, even
