Starter Paragraph Punch Online Edition - Software that helps students write a basic paragraph

Helps students develop their basic paragraph writing skills. Students learn how to write an effective paragraph -- developed by reason, detail, sequence, example, and cause and effect.

Choosing from a menu of topics, students are guided to develop an idea, and to write their own topic sentence, body, and conclusion. Steps include pre-writing, writing, organizing, revising, rewriting, and publishing.

Teachers can monitor their students' progress in the record management system.

Designed for students in grades 3 through 5 (ages 8 and up), the software can also be used by English language learners and adult students.
