writing activity with your child.
Open your child's Social Studies or Science book. Pick a random paragraph from
the text. Ask your child to identify the "topic" sentence. Discuss the important
information in this sentence. Ask if they are able to determine what information
will be in the paragraph based on the topic sentence. Try to find "detail"
sentences. Then identify the "ending" sentence. Finally, pick a random topic,
noses for instance. Then you and your child write a "Power Paragraph" about
noses using a topic sentence, detail sentences and an ending sentence. Compare
paragraphs, enjoy the written expression and make a memory!
