About this resource

When your students are in the midst of a new writing unit, they may be learning more about what a successful paragraph looks like. Before students can write a great paragraph, they’ll need to know what to include, how to structure it, and much more. Here is a Paragraph Practice Page that will assist with just that. This is great for your upper primary students in Years 4–6. PDF format.

How to Use This Resource:

You can print a copy for each student. The first page will provide students with helpful facts for what to include when writing paragraphs. They will learn tips such as the need to start a new paragraph when they are introducing a new subject. Students will read an example paragraph and determine what the main subject is. This is a partner discussion opportunity.

On the next page, students will be presented with a paragraph. The assignment is for them to rewrite it into two paragraphs (while keeping in mind the tips they learned on the first page).

On the final page, students will have two challenges to complete. For one, they will write two paragraphs including the subjects they were provided. For the other, they will write two paragraphs including the events they were provided.

This can be an independent practice worksheet.

I hope you enjoy!
