Each section provides a short paragraph without its topic sentence, and students must infer the main idea and write an appropriate opening sentence.

By crafting topic sentences from supporting details, learners develop critical thinking and writing skills that help them build cohesive paragraphs. It is excellent practice for informational and opinion writing.
How to Use It:
• Use during writing lessons on paragraph structure or main ideas.
• Assign as independent practice, homework, or small-group instruction.
• Pair with a full paragraph-writing extension where students expand their topic sentences into complete paragraphs.
• Use as a formative assessment to check understanding of main ideas and topic sentence creation.
Grade Suitability:
Best for Grades 5–7.

• Works well for both writing and reading comprehension practice.
Target Users:
