Paragraph Practice Series

Reading Level: 2 - 4
Interest Level: 4 - 12

When faced with a standardized-test prompt, journal topic, or essay question, many students have difficulty deciding what to write, how much to write, and what order to write in. This series gives students a foolproof strategy for writing paragraphs with reproducible activities.

Step-by-Step Process
Students use a graphic organizer to write a five-sentence paragraph, including a topic sentence, three detail sentences, and a concluding sentence. Each sentence goes in its own box so students can be sure to include all the parts. After completing all of the steps, students rewrite the five sentences in paragraph form.

Through a series of lessons, examples, and practice activities, students learn to write the key parts of essays: introductory paragraphs, body paragraphs, and concluding paragraphs. After they learn and practice the three key parts of essays, students move on to practice writing three-, four-, and five-paragraph essays.

Each book presents captivating topics in 100 high-interest prompts.
