Terms in this set
- Main Idea The central point a passage makes about its topic — what the author most wants the reader to understand, stated directly or implied across the whole text.
- Topic Sentence The sentence — usually first in a paragraph — that states the paragraph's main point; every other sentence in the paragraph supports or develops it.
- Supporting Details The facts, examples, statistics, reasons, and descriptions an author uses to develop, explain, or prove the main idea.
- Inference A logical conclusion a reader draws by combining clues in the text with general knowledge — something the passage strongly implies but never states outright.
- Summary vs. Paraphrase A summary condenses a whole text into its main idea and major points in your own words; a paraphrase restates one specific part in your own words at roughly the same length.
- Sequence & Following Directions The order in which events or steps occur, signaled by words like first, next, then, before, after, and finally; TEAS items ask you to track order or carefully follow multi-step written directions.
- Text Features The parts of a text outside the main prose — titles, headings, subheadings, bold and italic type, captions, sidebars, footnotes, a table of contents, an index, and a glossary — that organize content and help readers locate information.
- Graphic Information Information presented visually — maps, charts, graphs, tables, diagrams, and schedules — read using tools like titles, labels, legends (keys), and scales.
