Often, writers express their main idea in a clearly defined sentence known as a topic sentence. Topic sentences are usually found at the beginning of a paragraph in order to immediately establish the main idea. But this is not always the case— topic sentences can be found anywhere in a paragraph, and sometimes, the author chooses not to use one at all. Still, looking for the topic sentence is a good skill to have when ferreting out the meaning of a reading passage. This set of 19 multip
Finding the main idea of a written piece is one of the most important aspects of good reading comprehension. It is, however, easy to confuse the main idea or theme with the subject. Basically, the subject of a piece of writing is what that piece is generally about, plain and simple—the facts and information. However, when you look past the facts and information to the heart of what writers are trying to say, and why they are saying it, that’s the main idea. Multiple passages are accompanied

Understanding the words used to construct sentences is the best way to begin practicing for a reading comprehension test. Using a dictionary is, of course, the best way to define a word. But if you’re in a testing situation and you are not allowed to use one, rely on the context clues in the sentence. For example, sometimes you will find synonyms (words that mean the same thing) or antonyms (words that mean the opposite), or details that lead you to identify the vocabulary word in question.
The word philosophy literally means “ love of wisdom.” It refers to the writings of men and women who wrestle with life’s universal questions. Students don’t have to be an expert in either subject to answer the questions correctly. All the information that they need is in the passage. They must look for the main idea, words in context, and the topic sentence to help them understand the basic information. This set of multiple choice questions is useful to teach and assess students' understan
