    Mentor Texts and Resources Database

    I often get questions about which mentor texts I have used, the resources in which I used them, and the skills I cover with them. This database will answer all those questions (and more)!

    **In my opinion, the database is MOST useful on a desktop computer- the mobile view is not as search/filter friendly.**

    There are many ways to utilize the database- check out the quick tutorials underneath the database to learn to access the information in the most effective way for what you need.

    **Note, the Amazon links in this post are affiliate links. These don’t cost you anything extra, and Amazon pays me a few cents for sending you their way. I use this money for book giveaways for my followers!**

    Linked Standards

    The standards listed in the database are the Core Standards (same as in my resources). I am aware that some live in states that don’t use these standards, however, I list the anchor standards for reading and writing which are very easy to correlate to others if needed:

    Reading Core Anchor Standards

    Writing Core Anchor Standards

     

    Mentor Text and Resource Database

    Tutorials

    The database is set to view only, so don’t be afraid to play around with different filters to see all the ways you can search and use this spreadsheet! You cannot delete or “mess up” anything. 🙂

    First, I find it easiest to navigate the database in the “larger version” – click the button at the bottom right corner of the database to view this version.


     

    Then, check out all of the information you can view about each book/resource by scrolling to the right using the scroll bar at the bottom:


     

    You can also view all of the information about a specific book without scrolling through the spreadsheet by clicking on the cell of the book you want to view, then clicking on the name of the book to open the record:

    As you can see above, all of the links are clickable. The links will take you to the book on Amazon to purchase, or the resources in my shop.

    There is a column for related resources, too- so if you are interested in seeing other ways to use the book, or resources that would pair nicely with the topic/subject, check those out!


     

    If you know of a book you want to use, you can check to see what I have available for it by doing a search in the search bar:


     

    If you want to filter the large database to be more specific for your needs, you can do that! Maybe you want to see all of the mentor texts that I have used for a certain grade level. Click “filter” and choose the “grade level” column, then choose your grade! You can choose multiple grades, too, if you’d like.

     

    You can also add more filters! So, you’ve filtered all of the texts now by grade… perhaps you would also like to find a specific skill covered with the texts… add a second filter and select the column you need (mentor sentence focus skill, reading core standard, or writing core standard).

     

    Or maybe you want to see all of the texts and information about a specific resource. Click “filter” and then choose the column you’d like to use to narrow your results – for example, maybe you want to see everything about Volume 1- choose “resource” and type Volume 1, and all of Volume 1 texts will be displayed!

     

    I hope you find this database super useful! It will be updated with any new resources I create.

    I shared my TPT story with you back in April... (if you missed it, you can check it out here: ckarchive.com/b/4zuvheh5z24kp)As promised, the next big celebration update has happened!! FIVE brand new units have been added to the Yearlong Mentor Text Curriculum Bundle: Volume 2 for Grades 3-5! www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Yearlong-Mentor-Text-Curriculum-Bundle-Volume-2-for-Grades-3-...

Just re-download your purchase!📔School's First Day of School by Adam Rex📘Our Table by Peter H. Reynolds📗The Widow's Broom by Chris Van Allsburg📙Sofia Valdez, Future Prez by Andrea Beaty📕Vulture Verses by Diane LangI am creating these units to strategically align with the large bundles- you'll find the books chosen in volume 2 cover language skills that didn't have lessons previously, and can also be paired nicely with books included in the original bundle. For example, use Vulture Verses with Animals Nobody Loves!Just as a reminder, YES! I plan on doing the same thing for all of the other yearlong volumes, so don't be upset if you own another volume, or another grade! (And remember, Volume 1 already has its bonuses added!!) I am going in order of when I released them, and as you can imagine, it takes some time to create so many brand new units. 😉If you DON'T OWN the Volume 2 Yearlong Bundle and still want these five amazing book units, you can get them now ON SALE for just $3 each for the next 48 hours! www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Ideas-By-Jivey/Order:Most-Recent#seller_details_tabsThank you again for all your support and feedback over the last decade!

    Enough is enough. I’m sick over this. I’m sick Enough is enough. I’m sick over this. I’m sick OF this. I’m tired of children’s and teachers’ lives being lower on the list than the right to bear arms. Sending love to all my Texas teachers and families. Comments are turned off and yes, removed, because this is NOT an argument. Go to someone else’s post to do that. This is the 30th school shooting this year. This doesn’t happen in other countries, yet there is still plenty of evil there. I’m done.

    When I began creating #mentorsentence resources to When I began creating #mentorsentence resources to list in my TpT store over ten years ago, it was because of the huge shift I’d seen in my own students implementing the game-changing routine. I LOVE to hear other teachers have the same results! 🥰 #fabulousfeedback #ideasbyjivey #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram #teachersofig #teachertribe #iteach345 #mentorsentences
    Can students think critically about grammar!? YES Can students think critically about grammar!?

YES THEY CAN!

I know higher order thinking skills (HOTS) are generally not associated with grammar, but give it a chance… you’re going to see a HUGE shift in writing abilities and language understanding if you do!
