Main Idea: Libraries

This worksheet guides students to determine the main idea and supporting details in a nonfiction passage about modern libraries. Learners read carefully, underline important phrases, and summarize the passage’s central message in one clear sentence. They then list supporting evidence and reflect on how libraries have evolved to meet community needs. The activity strengthens comprehension and critical thinking by helping students distinguish essential ideas from details. It also reinforces paragraph structure and summary writing skills.
