The Five Finger Paragraph

My name is Johnnie W. Lewis, Author and Illustrator of The Five Finger Paragraph©, a very kinesthetic method of teaching students to write paragraphs and essays without all of the struggles inherent in that endeavor. The method is simple to learn, yet easy to remember, and comes in ebook and hard copy format. There is even a DVD from which older students can learn the method without supervision (most of the time!). The very visual color-coding and use of cartoon drawings grabs the student's attention long enough to impart the all important details of organizing the five paragraph essay so widely used in the S.A.T. and A.C.T. exams!
