Hi ,

Writing a paragraph can be a challenge for students to learn...and you to teach. This 12-week program walks you (and your students) through the process of teaching/learning how to write a paragraph.

Our How to Write a Paragraph resource is a simple, no-prep, 12-week writing program that will have your students building paragraphs in record time.  This K-2 curriculum begins by reviewing sentence structure and writing mechanics then slowly builds to writing complete paragraphs over a 4-day week.  Each week is simply structured with a daily instructional guide that includes verbal reminders and short teaching examples.
