Finding Details in a Text

What are we learning today?

You will find exact information in a short text.

Explanation

A detail is a small, exact piece of information, like a number, a place or a name. First, read the question. Then underline the key word. Then scan the text for that word. Answer from the text, not from memory.

Examples

1. How many rides are there at Fantasy World? There are more than 30.
2. What winter sports can you do at Tabagan? You can go skiing and snowboarding.
3. The Inuit use huskies, not reindeer, to pull sledges.

Remember!

• Write the number and the noun: "30 rides", not only "30".
• Look for the exact word from the question in the text.

Check yourself

1. What is the first thing you do with a question?
2. What does "more than 30" tell you about?
