Summary

The step-by-step lessons in this book will result in a complete understanding of the makeup of paragraphs and their importance in the writing process. The lessons begin with identifying information in a single-topic paragraph. They expand to identifying and writing ideas that belong in multiple paragraphs. Further exercises include picking out information that does not keep to the main idea of a given paragraph, organizing topics in logical order, and writing original, two- and three-paragraph stories about suggested topics. Plentiful practice reinforces comprehension and mastery of this important writing skill, which will lead students to creating organized and meaningful compositions. Clever illustrations and high-interest subject matter add to the effectiveness of this comprehensive teaching aid.--From publisher's description
