This was so helpful, especially for my struggling writers. I like that it started simple and then built on what they were learning to present more of a challenge- fabulous scaffolding.

Writing has always been tough for my students. This really helped them to see each step in the writing and to start at the beginning.

My intervention scholars loved this resource. It is solid way to reinforce and solidify their understanding of topic sentences and their relationships to main idea and details. Such a hard concept at this age. Very helpful!

Great resource! It was very helpful that the resource was already differentiated. It was very helpful when teaching my students the concept of what a topic sentence is and loved all the practice that was included. My students where engaged while working on one of their least favorite subjects…writing.
