• Details are facts and statements that support and explain the main idea.

Turn to page 203.• As I read the first paragraph, I see that the

first sentence is “Officer Mike and Aero are partners.” This tells me what this paragraph is about. As I continue reading, I look for details that support and explain that sentence.

• Look at the third paragraph. The first sentence, “Police dogs are strong and well trained,” this is the main idea of that paragraph.
