• Implied: The word “imply” means to
suggest—the idea is not stated clearly.
• Infer: figure out on your own.
• Implied Main Idea: Suggested by
supporting details and not clearly stated in
one sentence. The reader must figure out
an implied main idea by considering the
supporting details.
Finding the Implied Main Idea
• Step 1: Find the Topic…who or what is the
topic or the story about.
• Step 2: What is the author’s main point
about the topic? (This means to infer, or
figure out on your own, the author’s
unstated main idea.)
• Step 3: Next, test your inference. Ask:
Does all or most of the material in the
paragraph support this idea? If your
answer is “no,” then make other
inferences, testing each until you find what
inference most of the material in the
paragraph supports.
• Step 4: Finally, write the implied main idea
in your own words.
