Then answer each question.  \nHow to Find the Theme of a Text  \nReading is fun! In addition to reading for fun, though, we can also analyze texts to learn more from the texts and more about the texts. One way we can do this with fiction books, passages, or poems is by identifying the theme.  \nThe theme of a book is the “big idea” that runs throughout the text, connecting the characters and events. Many times, it has to do with what the main character learned over the course of the story. Most of the time, the theme of a book is not written out in the words, you have to use clues in the text to infer it. Themes can be ideas like friendship, bravery, love, honesty, good versus evil, or family. The theme might not be able to be said in just one word, though. It might be an idea such as, “Be careful what you wish for.” There may also be more than one theme in a story.  \nTo start finding the theme, first you need to make sure you’ve read the entire text. Characters change throughout the story, so what you might think is the theme in the beginning might not be true at the end!  \nReading and Math for K-5 © [www.k5learning.com](www.k5learning.com)  \nGrade 4 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nAfter reading the text, summarize the plot. What important events occurred during the story? What was the problem? How did the problem get resolved? How did the character(s) change? What did the character(s) learn?  \nUse the answers from those questions to see if you can spot a pattern. Did a lot of the plot revolve around friendship? Did many characters resolve problems with their families? Did hard work payoff for the main character? Did the main character learn the importance of fairness?  \nOnce you’ve identified a “big idea,” go through the text to find evidence that supports this idea throughout the entire text. If there was only one small problem with a character’s family, then “family”might not be the theme of the text. You might find more evidence for friendship or bravery.  \nNow you are ready to find the theme of books, passages, and poems! Grab your favorite book and see if you can identify the theme.  \nReading and Math for K-5 © [www.k5learning.com](www.k5learning.com)  \nGrade 4 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nQuestions:  \n1.
