Problem: Student has difficulty identifying supporting details when reading
1. Teach student that oftentimes the first sentence of a paragraph is usually a topic sentence and main idea
2. Teach the student to find the main ord or idea of a paragraph and make a web around that word inserting other ideas within that paragraph that supports the word identified
3. Provide webs for the student with the main idea and have the student fill in the blanks with supporting information from paragraph
4. Highlight the main idea in one color and supporting details in another color
5. Play" detective" with the student. Give the student the main idea and have him/her find supporting "evidence" that goes with the main idea.
