I love using mentor sentences in my class. It’s the first time my kids have truly had a comprehensive grasp on all parts of speech.
My students look forward to reading our mentor text and reviewing our mentor sentence this week. Their understanding of conventions and grammar rule has improved drastically. The texts are engaging and the resource is easy to follow each week.
My students feel really connected to these mentor sentences and the parts of grammar have actually stuck with them because of these lessons. This is a routine I will keep in place for many years to come.
Mentor sentences are a revolutionary teaching approach that goes beyond traditional methods. These lessons designed around model sentences selected from mentor texts allow students to dissect and understand the components of effective language use.
By integrating mentor sentences into your curriculum, you not only teach grammar in context but also inspire students to incorporate the focus skills, strategies, and structures into their own writing.
Transform your teaching by making grammar instruction both meaningful and engaging with mentor sentences.
