This resource is completely aligned with the NEW 2023 Grade 2 Ontario Language Curriculum. Each page is linked to a specific expectation in the Ontario curriculum, which is indicated at the bottom of each page for easy teacher reference.

Worksheets: Students will enjoy completing a scaffolded workbook that teaches important paragraph writing skills, like purpose, topic, paragraph structure and opinion writing.

It is followed by a culminating task called "Animal Paragraph" which is structured to guide students through brainstorming, planning, writing and proofreading a paragraph.
