The only guideline I’m familiar with is “Tell me three times—tell me what you’re going to explain, then explain it, then tell me what you just explained.” This seems to work on multiple scales—from complete books to shorter essays (though I’m not sure if it works on the level of individual paragraphs).

I believe that’s called the Bellman’s Rule.
