A helpful strategy during reading is asking students “How do you know?” It encourages them to look back at the text, name key details, and use evidence to support their thinking.

💭 Once readers can find a main idea, take it further—ask: What’s the author’s angle or perspective? Writers do the same by choosing their own slant on a topic.Reading for stance → Writing with purpose.

🧩 Reading and Writing Are Connected Through Text Structure

When readers notice how a text is structured, they uncover its main idea more easily. Writers use that same awareness to plan and organize their own work.

@jantonelli22 The strategies in both books will work well your curriculum, but I haven't done a correlation document for it. There are standards correlations, though, and you could match the standard in your lesson from BA to the strategies that way.

💡When reading and writing connect, everything clicks. The same thinking behind finding a main idea helps writers stay focused. This week I’ll share tips for teaching main idea through both. Grab The Reading Strategies Book 2.0 + The Writing Strategies Book to follow along!

[Jennifer Serravallo @JSerravallo]

💡Main idea in reading = focus in writing.
Teach readers to find key sentences that show what a text is mostly about—then have writers reread their drafts, highlight key sentences, & ask: “Do all my details connect back?”
