Writer's Block: Weekly Paragraph Writing Practice

Is your learner struggling to complete a good paragraph? 
Do they need practice adding details, varying sentence structure, or revising and editing their work?

Here’s what your student will practice each week:
✨Organizing their thoughts (pre-writing)
✨Crafting clear topic sentences
✨Writing strong supporting sentences 
✨Drafting concise concluding sentences
✨Revising and editing for stronger writing

Each week, we’ll break down the writing process into bite-sized steps with a quick lesson covering the essentials of a strong 5-sentence paragraph, then it’s time to practice, practice, practice!

We will also answer some creative writing prompts, focusing on:
✨beginning, middle, and end
✨setting and characters
✨adding sensory details

Each week brings new topics and endless creative possibilities!
