Their vocabulary expands as they discover and employ lively words that creatively convey their thoughts. Concurrently, students learn to structure their ideas into paragraphs through the writing process: brainstorming, outlining, drafting, editing, and producing a final copy. They study and apply this process while continuously refining their sentence-writing abilities, leading them to effortlessly craft engaging and well-written paragraphs.
