Description

Mentor sentences are the perfect way to teach grammar and author’s craft through examples of excellent sentences from your favorite read-aloud books!

This unit will be a great way to integrate your favorite texts about growth mindset with your mentor sentences! It does not include explicit directions of how to implement mentor sentences in your room- these directions are in the Second Grade, FIRST Ten Weeks: Mentor Sentence UnitVolume 1, FIRST Ten Weeks: Mentor Sentence UnitVolume 2, FIRST Ten Weeks: Mentor Sentence Unit, or Volume 3, FIRST Ten Weeks: Mentor Sentence Unit products for sale.

PLEASE NOTE! I have leveled this unit as 2-5 because most of the grammar skills that are covered with these texts CAN be done with second graders. (You just might need to provide more assistance…) Because of this, I have included two versions of the quiz: one in primary grade format and one in 3-5 format.

I walk you through each day’s lesson for 5 weeks- all the work is done! I’ve even done all the thinking for you when it comes to revising and imitating! 🙂 Each lesson includes the teacher sentence page, the student sentence page, a lesson plan page with possibilities for all 4 days, an interactive activity with the focus skill, and a quiz aligned with CCSS with answer key.

Please download the preview file to see the layout. There are 5 lessons for the following books:

-Ish by Peter H. Reynolds

-What Do You Do With a Problem? by Kobi Yamada

interrogative (types of sentences)

*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.*
