How to Find Key Details

Look for facts and information that tell you the most important parts of what you read. Key details help you answer questions and remember the story.

  • Underline or highlight important sentences.
  • Ask who, what, when, where, why, and how.
  • Retell the main points in your own words.

Examples

  • Highlighting sentences that describe the main events in a story.

  • Answering questions about what happened and why.
