LESSON 1
Recognizing how to pronounce a word correctly is not the only tool to measure your fluency in
English. More than that, you must develop your comprehension skills to effectively learn the
language and further understand any given text. One way to improve such skill is through
identifying the main idea of a paragraph and its supporting details.

The main idea is the most important thought or the “key concept” of the paragraph. It can be
found in the beginning, middle or end of a paragraph, and is often expressed in a topic sentence
or the sentence that reveals the main idea of the paragraph. It can also be implied or indirectly
stated. If it is implied, you have to express it in your own words.

The supporting details, on the other hand, are the essential pieces of information that clarify,
prove, or explain the main idea.

Paragraph 1
 Steps:
Identify the topic, the subject being talked
about, of the paragraph.
If the main idea is implied, you have to do the
following: Locate any repeated/ related words,
phrases, or ideas. Identify the connection of
these repeated/ related words, phrases, and
ideas. Write the main idea by stating what the
author is saying about the topic.
Look for the details that clarify or explain the
main idea.
Paragraph 2
Steps:
Identify the topic, the subject being talked about,
of the paragraph.
If the main idea is stated, determine what the
author is saying about the topic toget the most
important thought or the “key concept”.
Look for the details that clarify or explain the
main idea.
Examples:
Topic: Steps in wearing medical mask
a. Repeated/ related words, phrases, or ideas:
“Before,”“After,”“Next,”“Then,”“Once,” Each
sentence is giving instructions. Connection: The
related words or ideas state instructions and arranged
by the transitional words that indicate time. Main
idea: These are the steps in properly wearing a
medical mask
Supporting details: Before touching the medical
mask, clean your hands with alcohol-based hand rub
or soap and water.
After that, inspect the mask for tears and holes; do not
use a mask that has previously worn or is damaged.
Next, verify which side is the top: this is usually
where the metal strip is. Then, identify the inside of
the mask, which is usually the white side. Once
identified, place the mask on your face covering your
nose, mouth, and chin, making sure there are no gaps
between your face and the mask. Finally, pinch the
metal strip so that it molds to the shape of your nose.
Remember not to touch the front of the mask while
using it to avoid contamination. If you accidentally
touch it, clean your hands
Examples:
Topic: report of new cases in government
agencies
Main idea: Government agencies continue to
report new cases of personnel.
Supporting details: There are 15 Metro Rail
Transit workers in Manila and personnel at La
Trinidad, Benguet municipal hall, prompting
authorities to place a lockdown. Department of
Justice in Manila is on temporary lockdown after
5 employees were confirmed positive. Over 490
police personnel have tested positive, while 8
have died. There is also continued rise of COVID-
19 cases at the Bureau of Corrections, with 141
inmates and 38 detention facility staff at the New
Bilibid prison and 84 inmates and 7 staff at the
Women's Correctional Institute for Women testing
positive as of June 15.
LESSON 2 - Writing a Summary

Being able to simplify lengthy and complicated texts accurately in your own words is an
indication of a successful reading. To do this, you must first develop your skill in identifying the
key information and the details you need to explain it. If you have already mastered this, you can
effortlessly shorten a material through writing a summary.

A summary is a brief restatement of a text that includes its key information and is written in
your own words. Writing a summary helps you distinguish essential from irrelevant ideas and
shorten a large text to create a concise version.

Before writing a summary, you must understand the text and use your skill in getting the main
idea and the supporting details.

Reread the text about “distance learning” in the first activity. Then, follow the steps in writing a
summary.

Steps:
Identify the main idea/s.
Look for the essential details necessary for
supporting the main idea/s.
List and arrange the key points (main idea/s and
essential details necessary for supporting the main
idea/s).
Write a shortened version of the text in your own
words/ structure. Combine words or ideas (for
example: radio, television, telephone, video, and
internet to technologies).
Examples:
Main idea/s: 1) Distance learning relates to any
educational effort where the teacher and student
are separated by physical distance. 2) Different
technologies can be synchronous and
asynchronous.
Essential details necessary for supporting the main
ideas: 1) It is not a new phenomenon, having
begun back in the 1800s with correspondence
classes where students studied at home receiving
lessons or activities and returning them to school.
Distance education has evolved with the
development of new media, from print to radio,
telephone, television, video, satellite, computers,
and, most recently, the internet. 3)Some forms of
distance technology, such as radio, telephone,
television, satellite, and internet-based chats are
synchronous, meaning that the student/s and the
teacher are communicating together at the same
moment in time - sometimes called "real time."
Other distance technologies, such as print, video
and audiotapes, computer programs, and the
internet, were designed for asynchronous use
where participants contribute at different times.
Key points: Distance learning relates to any
educational effort where the teacher and student
are separated by physical distance. It is not a new
phenomenon, having begun back in the 1800s
with correspondence classes where students
studied at home receiving lessons or activities and
returning them to school. Distance education has
evolved with the development of new media, from
print to radio, telephone, television, video,
satellite, computers, and, most recently, the
internet. Different technologies can be
synchronous and asynchronous. Some forms of
distance technology, such as radio, telephone,
television, satellite, and internet-based chats are
synchronous, meaning that the student/s and the
teacher are communicating together at the same
moment in time - sometimes called "real time."
Other distance technologies, such as print, video
and audiotapes, computer programs, and the
internet, were designed for asynchronous use
where participants contribute at different times.
Summary: Distance learning is a form of learning
where physical interaction of the teacher and the
studentis not required. It started in the 1800s when
correspondence classes were done. This type is
developed together with the progression of
different technologies. These technologies that are
used in distance learning can be classified as
synchronousand asynchronous.
 D. Generalization
- What are the importance of printed and Non-Printed materials in disseminating information?
- How are we going to live if there are no such things as printed and non-printed materials for
spreading useful information and everyday communication?

E. Application
- Teacher will ask the students to determine whether the main idea in the paragraph is stated or
implied before completing the table. Then, in the first column, write the steps that will guide
you to get the topic, main idea, and supporting details of the paragraph. Write the
corresponding answer for each step in the second column. Write on a separate sheet.

IV. Evaluation
