Writing 3-Sentence Paragraphs

📖 Let’s Learn Writing 3-Sentence Paragraphs!
A paragraph is a group of sentences about the same topic. Your very first paragraph can be just 3 sentences!
All 3 sentences should be about the same thing — like your mother, your school, or your favourite food. A paragraph is the building block of all writing. Once you can write a paragraph, you can write stories, essays, and letters!
💡 The Rule
A 3-sentence paragraph has: (1) a topic sentence (tells what it’s about), (2) a detail sentence (gives more information), (3) a closing sentence (a final thought). All about ONE topic!
🎯 Key Concept
📝 About my dog:
1. Topic: I have a dog.
2. Detail: His name is Bruno.
3. Closing: I love him very much.
📋 The 3 Parts of a Paragraph
First sentence — tells what the paragraph is about
Middle sentence — adds more information
Last sentence — final thought or feeling
All 3 sentences must be about the SAME thing
