Choose the Relevant Detail

Learn to identify details that support a topic sentence or prove a point in this inviting worksheet! In five multiple-choice questions, students will be asked to read a topic sentence that introduces a scene or situation, then pick the detail that best supports it. At the end, students can write their own detail that supports a given topic sentence!

This worksheet was designed to support third and fourth graders as they learn about writing organization and paragraph structure. A strong understanding of what makes a detail relevant can help students clarify and streamline their writing as they move from writing isolated sentences to writing whole paragraphs.
