Putting Ideas Together

A paragraph groups sentences about the same idea. It makes your writing organized and easy to read.

How to Write a Paragraph

  • Start with a topic sentence that tells what the paragraph is about.
  • Add details to explain and support your idea.
  • Finish with a closing sentence to wrap it up.

Practice Makes Perfect

Try writing about your favorite animal, what you did on the weekend, or a place you want to visit. Remember to keep all your sentences about the same topic!

Why Paragraphs Matter

Paragraphs help readers understand your story and make your writing stronger.

Examples

  • Write a paragraph about your favorite food, starting with 'I love pizza because...'

  • Describe your pet in a paragraph, including what it looks like and what it likes to do.

In a Nutshell

A paragraph is a group of sentences about the same idea.
