Comprehension: The REDW Strategy for Finding Main Ideas
REDW is a good strategy to use to
find the main idea in each paragraph of a reading
assignment. Using this strategy will help you comprehend
the information contained in your assignment. Each of
the letters in REDW stands for a step in the strategy.
Read
Read the entire paragraph to get an idea of what the
paragraph is about. You may find it helpful to whisper
the words as you read or to form a picture in your mind
of what you are reading. Once you have a general idea of
what the paragraph is about, go on to the next step.
Examine
Examine each sentence in the paragraph to identify the
important words that tell what the sentence is about.
Ignore the words that are not needed to tell what the
sentence is about. If you are allowed to, draw a line
through the words to be ignored. For each sentence,
write on a sheet of paper the words that tell what the
sentence is about.
Decide
Reread the words you wrote for each sentence in the
paragraph. Decide which sentence contains the words you
wrote that best describe the main idea of the paragraph.
These words are the main idea of the paragraph. The
sentence that contains these words is the topic
sentence. The other words you wrote are the supporting
details for the main idea.
Write
Write the main idea for each paragraph in your notebook.
This will provide you with a written record of the most
important ideas you learned. This written record will be
helpful if you have to take a test that covers the
reading assignment.
Use REDW to help you understand the
information in your reading assignments.
