Implied: The word “imply” means to suggest—the idea is not stated clearly.
Infer: figure out on your own.
Implied Main Idea: Suggested by supporting details and not clearly stated in one sentence. The reader must figure out an implied main idea by considering the supporting details.

5. Finding the Implied Main Idea
Step 1: Find the Topic…who or what is the topic or the story about.
Step 2: What is the author’s main point about the topic? (This means to infer, or figure out on your own, the author’s unstated main idea.)

6. Step 3: Next, test your inference
Step 3: Next, test your inference. Ask: Does all or most of the material in the paragraph support this idea? If your answer is “no,” then make other inferences, testing each until you find what inference most of the material in the paragraph supports.
Step 4: Finally, write the implied main idea in your own words.
