increase their understanding and appreciation of
the story and of the author’s purpose in writing it.
Comprehension:
Author’s Purpose
• As you read, ask yourself if the author is trying to
entertain, inform, or persuade.
• If a selection includes humor or suspense, the author’s
purpose may be to entertain.
• If the author gives a lot of information about a topic, the
purpose is probably to inform.
• An author whose purpose is mainly to persuade tries to
get the reader to think or act a certain way.
• Remember, many selections have more than one
purpose. Often you are asked what the author’s purpose
is for a selection. You will have to analyze the selection
and choose the author’s MAIN purpose.

includes details that do not support the main
idea. These details make the passage more
interesting, or they might provide a little more
information.

ideas, things, or people are alike.
