Build-A-Paragraph Studio

This worksheet guides students step-by-step in constructing a complete paragraph using a main idea and supporting details. First, they choose a topic from a provided list. Then they write a full paragraph of 5-7 sentences, ensuring it begins with a clear main-idea statement and includes at least three supporting details. The structure encourages independence while still providing scaffolding for young writers. This activity helps students develop strong writing habits by connecting reading comprehension to written expression. It is perfect for practice, assessment, or writing workshop routines.
