What this worksheet practices

How to use this worksheet

  1. 1

    Talk through the plan out loud before writing. A child who can say their three reasons will write them far more easily.

  2. 2

    After the planner, copy the paragraph onto lined paper. Keeping planning and writing separate is how 3rd graders learn to organise ideas.

  3. 3

    Use the CUPS checklist on every piece of writing, not just the sample paragraph.
