    Key Ideas and Details


    Key ideas and details are the answers to who, what, when, where, why, and how questions about text. Early readers
    often do not distinguish between what they already know about a topic and the details an author decided to
    include. Thus a child might confuse details from a book about a trip to the zoo with his or her own memory of a
    trip to the zoo. Readers at this level also tend to rely on their own memory after reading, and they resist going
    back to a text to confirm key ideas and details. Modeling, discussion, and repeated opportunities for practice are
    the best strategy to start teaching students to be close readers of text.

    Step by Step  30–45 minutes

    1 Explain key ideas and details.


    • Ask a student a simple question, such as What did you do after school yesterday? or What did you eat for lunch?
    • Listen to the answer. Then say, Now I will repeat the key ideas and details that [name] just told me. Repeat the
    main points from what he or she said.

    2 Model finding key ideas and details in text.


    • Tell students that good readers pay close attention to what an author tells them. Say, Good readers can ask
    and answer questions to help them find key ideas and details.
    • Display these words.

    Who?  What?  When?  Where?  Why?  How?

    • Read aloud a book such as Tree of Birds, by Susan Meddaugh. Tell students that as you read, you are going to
    pause to ask questions about the story. The questions will begin with one of these words.
    • As you read, stop to ask questions about the text. Think aloud as you answer each question.

    What happened when Harry got close to the tree? Well this picture shows Harry looking up at the tree. I think
    the answer is right here on this page. Yes, it says that Harry saw “it wasn’t covered with leaves ... it was a tree
    full of birds.” I know this is an important detail because the title is Tree of Birds.

    3 Provide guided practice.


    • Once you have finished reading the story, ask questions about key ideas and details, and provide choices.

    Question  Why did Harry dress up like a cat?


    Choices 1. because it was Halloween
    2. because he wanted to fool the birds
    Answer  (because he wanted to fool the birds)

    • Guide students to select the best answer and refer to the detail in the text.

    4 Provide independent practice.


    • As students demonstrate understanding, guide them in answering the questions independently. Provide
    prompts such as these.

    Who did Harry first show the bird to?


    What did Harry notice about the trees that was unusual?
    When did Harry first notice the tree of birds?
    Why did Harry want the birds to fly south?
    How did Harry try to get the birds to leave?

    • Have students locate details in the text or illustrations to support their answers.

    Check for Understanding


    If you observe... Then try...
    students struggling to identify key ideas simplifying the task by starting at the picture level.
    Choose a text with strong picture support. Take a
    picture walk, then ask who, what, when, where, why,
    and how questions based on the illustrations. Have
    students locate key details in the illustrations to
    answer the questions.
