Paragraph Power: Grades 3–6

For students to become skillful at reports, essays, and other kinds of writing assignments, they must understand how a paragraph is constructed and what makes it powerful. From there, they can move onto longer pieces. Here, Adele Fiderer presents a series of mini-lessons to guide students along that path—from writing single paragraphs to crafting multi-paragraph pieces. You’ll also find reproducible activities and checklists that support the lessons, as well as superb student models.
