Once students have become proficient with sentence writing with the types of sentences, this strategy of paragraph writing gives them the next steps. Again, structure and layout of the paragraph strategy will help even the reluctant writers become more comfortable writing paragraphs.

I have found this to be a strategy that works well in all three tiers.  Most recently my co-teacher and I taught our 3rd grade writers this strategy and found it to be very successful!

I am currently a literacy coach grades 7-12 working with teachers on SIM writing strategies.

I learned the Paragraph Writing Strategy 7 years ago and immediately implemented it with my middle school student. I was in awe of what great writing my student produced once they mastered and began using the strategy. Over the next few year, SIM Paragraph Writing became part of our 7th grade curriculum. We have since added Theme Writing as part of our 8th grade ELA curriculum, making SIM writing strategies central to our ELA curriculum buildingwide. I have since become a literacy coach split between the middle school and high school. Although Dotti Turner is still our paid consultant, my job is to help teachers in grades 7-12 implement and generalize the SIM writing strategies. She can attest to the fact that I taught this strategy with fidelity to many classes over many years.
