### In the lessons

In reading and writing, details support the main idea: good stories add details of what the character sees, hears and feels. In maths word problems, some details are needed and some are extra; you must pick the ones that matter. In science, you record details of an experiment. In safety, you keep personal details (address, phone, passwords) private online. Phrases: in detail, for more details, contact details, pay attention to detail, fine details.
