Flow Repair

This worksheet helps students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 strengthen descriptive writing by revising a disorganized paragraph so ideas flow logically from beginning to end. Students analyze sentence order, identify misplaced details, and restructure the paragraph to improve clarity, coherence, and reader understanding, reinforcing how structure supports meaning in descriptive texts.

Learning Goals

• Paragraph Reorganization (Grades 4-6) – Rearrange sentences to create a clear and logical progression of ideas.
• Logical Sequencing – Determine the most effective order for descriptive details.
• Improving Coherence – Strengthen connections between sentences so the paragraph reads smoothly.
• Structural Revision – Understand how sentence placement affects clarity and overall effectiveness.

Instructional Benefits

This printable worksheet helps students see that strong descriptive writing depends not only on good details but also on clear organization. By repairing flow and reorganizing sentences, learners build confidence in paragraph coherence, logical sequencing, and structural revision.
