Remember the following words you learned in the crossword

puzzle for you to understand well the paragraph that follows.
It’s Fun to Read
Why are books important? Let us

read the paragraph below.
Books are the oldest source of information that never gets

old. Even before when the oldest radio has not yet been
invented, books were able to provide information to the people
around the world. Books had been an essential part of human
lives since the old times. They have been used for telling
stories, preserving history, and sharing information about
our world. The first ever recognized books were the ancient
scrolls. These are rolled up manuscripts made from Papyrus
plant and ranges from 14 to 52 feet wide when unraveled. The
second type of book was the book to-go of the Romans. More
6
similar to the style of books today, the Romans created
some of the first codices (plural of codex) from as early as
the 1st century CE. The codex was more durable and
compact than a scroll as it was made with parchment
paper and bound with wooden covers. Information is
important and books had been a necessity for everyone.
The need for books resulted to the discovery of printed
books. The first recorded printed book in history is the
Diamond Sutra of Mahayana Buddhism. Books in
schools are all product of printing. These modern days,
books are now in electronic form. Electronic book or e-
book for short is the most convenient type of books as
long as you have gadgets to read on. Books may change
over time, but it will never get tired nor old in giving
us vast information around the world.

What is a paragraph?

Read again the first line of the paragraph.
Books are the oldest source of information

that never gets old.
Did it tell you what the paragraph will be about? Yes/No
If you answered yes, you are right! This is the

topic sentence.
The topic sentence is the sentence in a paragraph that

gives the reader insight or idea into what it is all about. It
states the main idea of a paragraph. It is located at the
beginning of a paragraph. Sometimes, it can be found in
the middle or end of paragraph. You have to read well the
paragraph so that you can be able to identify correctly the
topic sentence.
Most of the sentences in a paragraph are

considered supporting sentences.
What are supporting sentences?
8
Supporting sentences make up the body of a
paragraph. It expands the topic sentence in detail to develop
the idea presented on it. That is why it is also called as
supporting details. The numbers of sentences vary but the
typical paragraph should have two or five supporting
sentences.
What is the connection of the last sentence

to the topic sentence?
What is a concluding sentence?
A concluding sentence marks the end of the

paragraph, and it summarizes or raises the key point
of the paragraph. This is the last sentence in a
paragraph.
To recognize a simple paragraph, you have to consider all of its

parts - from the beginning up to the last sentence.
