How to Write a Paragraph

Once children have a solid understanding of sentence structure, it’s important to begin to teach them to group their sentences into topics.   A group of sentences with the same topic is a paragraph.  A paragraph includes a main idea sentence that tells what the rest of the sentneces will be about.  When teaching your child how to write a paragraph, start with a main topic, then brainstorm a small list of details that pertain to that same topic.  Help students pick and choose details and expand on each to create a complete sentence. 

Use the following Paragraph Chart as a reminder in your classroom.  Practice writing a paragraph with the free brainstorming worksheet below.
