E23: Teacher Certification Podcast | FTCE | Reading | Key Ideas and Supporting Details in a Text

In today’s episode, I’ll be talking about the FTCE General Knowledge Reading Subtest. This is part 2 of a multi-series review of what YOU need to know to pass the Reading section of the GK.

Today we are going to talk about key ideas and supporting details based on text evidence. Oh man, that sounds kind of like alot. Right? Don’t worry, don’t worry! You've got this ! You've got this! I believe in youuuuu!

Now let’s get started.

Concept #1  Key ideas and supporting details

Key ideas are basically main ideas that are overarching and often repetitive and thematic throughout the text. Whereas supporting details are specific ideas like facts or descriptions that explain, develop, and support the main idea.
