Description

Do your students struggle to create effective topic sentences? Since directly teaching my students five basic types of topic sentences and having them practice these types in a variety of ways, I've been amazed at their progress!

This Topic Sentence resource includes two formats: print and digital, to give you greater teacher flexibility. Besides guided activities and review sheets for each of the five types of topic sentences presented, there's a topic sentence sorting game, posters, and more to help your students write better topic sentences to introduce paragraphs.
