What your child will learn: Paragraph Power
- The TOPIC SENTENCE goes first: it announces the big idea, like 'Autumn is the best season of all.'
- Then come 3 DETAIL sentences that prove it: crunchy leaves, cozy sweaters, pumpkin everything.
- The CLOSING sentence wraps it up: 'That's why I count the days until fall!'
- Stay on topic: a sentence about your birthday doesn't belong in a paragraph about autumn.
