Paragraph Writing | Printable Activities and Song for Grades K-2

Teaching students how to write a paragraph can be a difficult task. It can be hard to get your kids to remember all of the different parts in their writing. Engage your students in writing a paragraph with a fun song and printable activities. This resource more suited for lower elementary students (K-2).

This resource was inspired by a lesson I did with a small group of 2nd graders in my resource room. I used the tune of the “Fast Food Song” by the Fast Food Rockers and came up with my own lyrics to help my students remember the parts of a paragraph. This song was a hit with my students and they even wanted to teach the song to other students in their class.
