Topic-to-Detail Matching

This worksheet presents three topic sentences and three groups of descriptive details. Students must match each topic sentence to the group of details that supports it best. This helps learners recognize how specific details must logically connect to a topic sentence in order to build a clear paragraph. By analyzing which details fit each setting, students refine their ability to judge relevance and coherence. The activity reinforces foundational paragraph structure skills and develops students’ ability to build strong, focused descriptions.
