Main Idea Vs. Theme

The main idea is what the book is mostly about.

The theme is the message, lesson, or moral of a book. 

By asking crucial questions at before you read, while you read, and after you read a book, you can determine the main idea and theme of any book you are reading!

Questions to Determine Main Idea
  • Before Reading:
    • Read the title.
    • What is the book about?
    • What is the topic?
  • While Reading:
    • Look for and carefully read text features.
    • Is the book fiction or nonfiction?
    • Look for information, words, and pictures that are repeated.
  • After Reading:
    • Think about the most important part of this topic.
    • What details or examples back up and support the main idea?
Questions to Determine Theme
  • Before Reading:
    • Look back at the common theme topics.
    • Keep these in mind as you begin to read the book.
  • While Reading:
    • Think: the theme may be stated or implied (suggested).
  • After Reading:
    • How did the characters react to obstacles?
    • What important decisions did the characters make?
    • How did the characters grow or change, and what did they learn?
