About Paragraph Structure
What this skill is
Paragraph structure governs the cohesive organization of related sentences: indentation, topic sentence, 3 to 4 unified supporting sentences, smooth transitions, and a concluding sentence.
When children learn it
Writing organized, unified paragraphs is a foundational standard developed across 2nd through 5th grade writing instruction.
Teaching Tips
- Teach the "Two-Finger Indent": place two fingers on the left margin of the first line before writing. That small indentation tells the reader a brand new idea is starting.
Common Mistakes
- Writing without indenting the first line of the paragraph.
- Mixing unrelated topics into a single rambling paragraph.
- Starting a new paragraph for every single individual sentence.
