  3. Finding the Implied Main Idea • First, find the topic. Ask: Who or what is the selection about? • After finding the topic, ask: What is the author’s main point about the topic? (This means to infer, or figure out on your own, the author’s unstated main idea.)

  4. Finding the Implied Main Idea • Next, test your inference. Ask: Does all or most of the material in the paragraph support this idea?
