Reading Skills;3) Reading for major details In Units 1 and 2, we discussed how to identify topics and main ideas. But the main idea does not give you all the information you need. Facts and details appear within the paragraphs you read and help develop the main ideas of the paragraphs. These facts and details may paint a more complete picture, may give examples to help you understand the ideas better, may prove a point, or may show~0w the idea relates to other ideas.; It is also obvious that not all facts in a paragraph have the same importance. Details that give major information about the main idea, however, are very important. Small or less important details help round out the paragraph and often hold our attention to make the material we are reading more interesting. Still, we may ignore small details if our goal is a clear and quick understanding of what we’ve read. ; So, when we are looking for the major detail of a paragraph, we have, first, to learn to read for the main idea of the paragraph. When we have found all the facts and details that help to add up to the main idea of the paragraph, we can separate the major detail from less important details.; Now look at the following paragraph Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) was diagnosed in the United States in the late 1970s. Since then, AIDS has killed more than 204,000 Americans -- half in the past few years alone. Another 185,000 of the one million infected with the HIV virus are also expected to die. Main idea: AIDS was found in the States. Major detail: AIDS has killed more than 204,000 since being identified.;4.
