Topic
To identify the topic of a reading, ask yourself,
"What is this about?" The answer provides the
topic of the reading. It does not need to be a
complete sentence, and it is usually no longer
than two or three words.
Main Idea
It is easy to identify a main idea that is directly
expressed in the text. Main ideas are often found
at the beginning of paragraphs. The first
sentence often explains the subject being
discussed in the passage. Main ideas are also
found in the concluding sentences of a
paragraph.
Supporting Detail
Use a three-step process to identify supporting details.

Step 1: Identify the topic. To identify the topic of a reading, ask yourself, "What is this about?" The
answer provides the topic of the reading. It does not need to be a complete sentence, and it is
usually no longer than two or three words.

Step 2: Identify what the author is saying about the topic. To identify what the author is saying about
the topic, ask yourself, "What does the author want me to know about the topic?" Again, this does
not need to be a sentence and is generally five to seven words long.

Step 3: Identify details that support or explain the main idea. To find the main idea, first take your
answer from Step 1, add it to your answer from Step 2, and then find a phrase or sentence in the
first part of the reading that most closely matches your answers. This will be the main idea of the
reading. To identify major supporting details that support that main idea, ask yourself, "What else in
the reading helps me to understand the author’s main idea?" To identify minor supporting details,
ask of each major detail, "What else in the paragraph helps me to understand this major supporting
detail?" Be aware that not all major details require further explanation, so they will not all have
minor details supporting them.
Compound Noun
What Is a Compound Noun?

A compound noun is formed when two words are combined to make a completely new word. This
means that the meaning of the new word must be significantly different than either of its parts
individually.

For example, a hot dog (or hotdog) - i.e., a type of sausage typically eaten on a bun - may be hot,
but it's certainly not a dog. The combination of these two words means something entirely different
than the mere combination of the adjective "hot" and the noun "dog," which would refer to an
overheated, panting canine. Observe the difference below:

- I want to eat a hot dog when we go to the county fair.

- The hot dog was grateful to find a shady spot for a nap.

The first sentence uses "hot dog" as a compound word, but the second does not. The meaning is
quite different in each sentence, and English speakers should have no trouble telling the difference
between pets and food!
Pronoun

A pronoun is defined as a word or phrase


that is used as a substitution for a noun or
noun phrase, which is known as the
pronoun's antecedent. ... Common pronouns
are he, she, you, me, I, we, us, this, them,
that.
Noun Suffixes
Suffixes
A suffix is a letter or a group of letters attached to the end of a word
to form a new word or to alter the grammatical function of the original
word. With derivational suffixes, the new word has a new meaning,
and is usually a different part of speech. But the new meaning is
related to the old meaning - it is "derived" from the old meaning.

The most common suffixes are: -tion, -ity, -er, -


ness, -ism, -ment, -ant, -ship, -age, -ery.
Test Time
The rules of conduct during an examination are clear.
No books, calculators or papers are allowed in the
test room. Proctors will not allow anyone with such
items to take the test. Anyone caught cheating will be
asked to leave the room. His or her test sheet will be
taken. The incident will be reported to the proper
authority. At the end of the test period, all materials
will be returned to the proctor. Failure to abide by
these rules will result in a failing grade for this test.
