I was looking for a way to incorporate grammar and writing in my 40 minute class period. This is a great resource that helps students practice grammar concepts while also being able to write every day.
This resource transformed the way I teach grammar. My students loved the predictability of the activities and every Monday would be excited to see what our new mentor sentence/text would be. Their grammar knowledge definitely increased and the quality of their writing greatly improved. I have since purchased more products by Jivey and will continue to use her products next year.
I have been using these Mentor Sentences for a month now and I just love them. I love to read good stories to my students and this program gives me every excuse to squeeze them in. The students love the routine of having a notebook and knowing what short activity they will do each day. Their sentences at the end of the week are already improving. I love the literature/grammar/writing connection we get in just a few minutes a day.
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.
