** ​Catch the Reading Bug!!! **  Main Idea

 What we are looking for in a **main idea** of a story is simply the main course of the dinner, the “meat.” If we get too stuffed with the appetizer and side dishes, the taste of the main course gets lost and the dinner becomes a big blur of food. This goes for the story as well. Too much information becomes overwhelming and the main idea gets lost in the mix. This is helpful, not only when reading a story and answering questions, but also when organizing and writing an essay and short story.
