Topic Sentence Match

Overview:

This activity involves matching topic sentences to their respective paragraphs. Designed for early and middle years students, this worksheet helps them develop an understanding of how topic sentences summarise the main idea of a paragraph and guide the flow of an information report.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the role of topic sentences in structuring a paragraph.
• Match topic sentences to the correct paragraphs based on the main idea.
• Improve comprehension and organisation skills in report writing.

How the Activity Works:

In this activity, students are provided with a set of paragraphs from an information report, but the topic sentences are missing. They must read through the paragraphs and match the appropriate topic sentence to each one. This exercise encourages students to think critically about how topic sentences summarise and introduce the content of each paragraph, helping to improve their overall writing and reading skills.
