 NOTING DETAILS

In reading a text, you should be constantly

noting the important details. These details
could be a brief record of something, a
statement, a quote, a definition or a phrase
that are written down in order to be
remembered. Noting details is vital to
reading comprehension.
 Details are divided into two forms:

1. Explicit details – These are the

specific details. The details that are
seen and measurable. They are stated
clearly. These details often answer the
questions who, what, where, when and
how.
 Details are divided into two forms:

2. Implicit details – These details are used to

describe or to define a general state. These are
the details that are implied but not plainly
expressed. They are not stated directly, but the
reader understands because of the clues in the
text. These details sometimes answer the
question why.
