Getting students to write strong, connected supporting details is one of the hardest parts of paragraph writing. Without them, even the best topic sentences fall flat—and paragraphs quickly turn vague, repetitive, or incomplete. This Supporting Details Bundle gives you everything you need to explicitly teach, model, and practice supporting details with your students.

From teacher-led lessons, to hands-on print activities, to interactive student slides, this bundle provides a complete system to move students from sentences like “I like it” to clear, specific evidence that proves their ideas
