What are Supporting Details?

Supporting details are the little bits of information that help explain or prove the main idea. They answer questions like "Who?", "What?", "When?", "Where?", and "Why?"

How to Find Details

  • Look for facts, examples, or descriptions in the passage.
  • Notice words that explain or describe the main idea.

Why Details Matter

Details help you understand stories better and answer questions on tests. They make the main idea stronger and clearer.

Real-World Connection
