A true piece about India’s journey to the Moon. We only name the piece — every example here is our own — and use it to learn how to read non-fiction: finding facts and the main idea, learning new words, and asking questions. Tap each idea to begin.
Play with it
Non-fiction tells us true things. Tap each idea to see how to read it well.
Learn
Main idea or detail? “This piece is about a Moon mission” · “The spacecraft has a small rover”.
The first is the main idea (what it is mostly about); the second is a detail (a smaller fact).
Where you'll meet it
Finding the main idea and details helps you understand any non-fiction — about animals, space, or how things work.
When you meet a new word, learning to find its meaning makes you a stronger, more curious reader.
Asking why and how about what you read — at school or at home — helps you learn far more than just reading the words.
Check yourself
Eight quick questions that check the skill — reading non-fiction for facts, finding the main idea, and asking questions — not just remembering the piece.
Skill practice with our own original examples. The piece “Chandrayaan” (NCERT Santoor, Class 3) is referenced by name only, never reproduced.
