NOTING DETAILS
- Noting details is a reading comprehension skill that involves picking out, from a piece
of text, the particular piece or pieces of informationto achieve a given purpose.
- These details are the ones that good readers notice and authors use to emphasize the
events and the characters in the story.
- This may be a statement, a quote, a definition or a phrase one may have written down in
order to remember.

Details are divided into two:

1. IMPLICIT DETAILS
- These details are used to describe or to define a general state. These are the details that
we can't really see. These are details that are implied but not plainly expressed.
2. EXPLICIT DETAILS
- These are the specific details. The details that we can see and are measurable. These
details are stated clearly.

How to note details?

1. Always read the story with full understanding and internalize the lines printed.
2. Jot down notes or highlight texts. You will know that you're doing the right thing when
the things you've taken down describes the main idea and the supporting ideas.

Example:

· Kobe's favorite sport is basketball. He loves wearing basketball shorts. He goes to the
court every week to play. His bagpack has Lebron James on it.
