When you read non-fiction, you should be looking for the main idea of the passage you are reading. The main idea can be the first sentence of a paragraph, but it doesn't have to be. Often the main idea is stated later in the paragraph. Sometimes the main idea is implied, which means that you need to figure it out based on what the details are saying. The details of the paragraph often support or enhance the main idea.
