This comprehensive bundle for grammar and vocabulary combines three original resources from my Volume 1 curriculum sets that seamlessly integrate with well-loved picture books used as mentor texts, providing a rich and engaging learning experience for your students.
Save time and money by investing in this bundle that maximizes your teaching potential. All three resources included are designed to work with the same ten mentor texts, ensuring a cohesive and integrated approach.
Every activity should be used alongside these mentor texts:
-First Day Jitters By Julie Danneberg
-Enemy Pie By Derek Munson
-Saturdays and Teacakes By Lester Laminack
-My Rotten Redheaded Older Brother By Patricia Polacco
-Fireflies! By Julie Brinckloe
-Come On, Rain! By Karen Hesse
-The Man Who Walked Between The Towers By Mordicai Gerstein
-Verdi By Janell Cannon
-Stellaluna By Janell Cannon
-I Need My Monster By Amanda Noll
Books not included! I chose books that would be in most personal libraries or school media centers. All of these are personal favorites of mine! Ideally, this bundle would work best at the beginning of the school year (based on the books especially), but it could really be started at any point.
WHAT’S INCLUDED?
1. Mentor Sentences Unit: Daily Grammar Vol 1 – First 10 Weeks
Say goodbye to boring worksheets and lectures! This unit offers ready-to-teach mentor sentence lessons that will have students working with sentences from favorite read-aloud mentor texts.
Engage students in 10-15 minutes of daily practice with one or two grammar and language skills, exposing them to new and previous grammar skills. This spiral learning approach is such a game-changer for students’ grammar understanding and writing abilities.
There is a 9-page introduction in this FIRST unit with pictures included of how I use mentor sentences in my room (VERY detailed, day-by-day), followed by 10 lessons that include:

2. Vocabulary Companion to Volume 1, Unit 1
Teach vocabulary in context with this vivid vocabulary pack.
Activities are designed on researched best practices and align with the same mentor texts used in the other two units.
★ Activities are also provided as links to Google Slides for Digital Learning! ★
Every mentor text “set” of activities includes the “What Do You Think?” page for context application and the “Show What You Know” page to formatively assess students. The other activities vary based on the text and the vocabulary words.
There are open-ended activities and ideas provided that can be used with any words, and I encourage you to incorporate past words in with the current words using these formats for frequent repetition.

*The mentor sentence lessons I have created are adapted from the ideas of Jeff Anderson. These lessons were born from the routine that worked well in my classroom, and the demos and examples I present are variations of Jeff Anderson’s methods. This is not the only way to “do” mentor sentences in your classroom.*

Makes Vocab and Grammar Easy!
One of the best resources I've purchased! I am a huge believer that vocab and grammar are best taught when integrated into content, and this resource does just that. As a class, we read the new mentor text on a Friday, then we go through the grammar the next week. I truly believe just focusing on one mentor sentence per week is so powerful. I feel like they're really grasping the concepts being taught, not just checking grammar off the list. I'd highly recommend this resource!
Great Resource
Engaging resource that encourages kids to think about reading and grammar in new ways.
The Daily Grammar sentences and vocabulary practice activities in this resource are amazing. Integrating this together with a read aloud literature story is so cool. My students have really enjoyed the activities.
This resource is perfect for reinforcing grammar concepts in a consistent, low-prep format. The spiral review structure ensures that key grammar skills are revisited regularly, which is great for long-term retention. I’ve used these mentor sentences in my small groups to target sentence structure, punctuation, and parts of speech, and they’re a huge hit with my students. The activities are engaging and provide just the right amount of challenge to support students at various language levels. It’s a must-have for daily grammar practice and review!
This year I switched to third grade and I have been using this and it is super helpful and thorough for my students and myself. It is a great resource that is ready to go!
A very comprehensive bundle, has everything and anything!
This was my students' FAVORITE morning work last year. One story per week, which provided an excellent deep-dive into language, vocabulary, grammar, etc. We actually did some old-school sentence diagramming, which the kids actually loved, and they showed significant growth in many areas. I highly recommend!
Books are engaging. Great resource for teaching vocabulary.
This is very thorough. I enjoyed the connection to mentor texts as that could be incorporated for the whole week in other ways as well.
My students are using this as a warm up activity in the morning.
Great addition to my reading lessons. Easy way to get my kids to look at reading and grammar in different ways.
I love this resource. The students are engaged in the story and understand that we study these to apply them in our writing.
