    The DIGITAL AND PRINTABLE language arts interactive activities in this unit address the focus skills in the Mentor Sentences Unit: Just the Basics Set 2 (Grades 3-5).

    All of the lessons in this set cover foundational, basic skills and are compiled from Volumes 1, 2, and 3. I have had requests for this from teachers who teach special education or students with very low grammar and writing skills.

    THESE ARE NOT BRAND NEW INTERACTIVE ACTIVITIES.

    There is ONE activity for each week to help you work with the focus skill in the mentor sentence lesson and apply it to writing, and each one is provided in printable and Google Slides formats.

    *****************************************************************************
    WHAT’S INCLUDED?
    Please look at the preview for a completed example of each of the activities!
    The activities provided are:

    companion to Over and Under the Snow

    Prepositional Phrases
    companion to Our Tree Named Steve

    Create Prepositional Phrases
    companion to Martin’s Big Words

    Prepositional Phrases

    Prepositional Phrases

    Interjections
    companion to Hey, Little Ant

    Comparative & Superlative Adjectives
    companion to Verdi

    *****************************************************************************
    WHAT ELSE DO I NEED?
    There is a Mentor Sentence Unit that is used to discuss and practice the skills in this interactive notebook.

    Not familiar with mentor sentences? Read all about them here!

    **Watch a video of Mentor Sentences in ACTION!**

    Every mentor sentence unit has a companion interactive notebook to help you teach and/or review the skill for the week!

    *****************************************************************************
    DO YOU LOVE TO SAVE MONEY?

    You can buy the INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOK BUNDLE for the whole year!

    If you are going to buy all of the mentor sentences and interactive activities for the year, you definitely want to take a look at the Entire Yearlong Just the Basics Curriculum. For just $45 more, you’ll also get several reading activities, a writing prompt, and a week of vocabulary activities for ALL 40 BOOKS in the Basics Sets! You’ll be able to integrate the mentor text into all areas of ELA!

    *****************************************************************************
    WHAT ABOUT OTHER GRADE LEVELS?

    There are three volumes for grades 3-5 to help prevent repetition of mentor sentence lessons among grades in the same school.

    Check out what’s in Volume 1!
    Check out what’s in Volume 2!
    Check out what’s in Volume 3!

    Mentor Sentences can be done in ALL grades! Please tell your teacher friends about mentor sentences for their grade:

    😍 For today's Mentor Text Monday, let's look at a book you should use this week to celebrate National Crayon Day on Friday! 🖍 The Crayon Man: The True Story of the Invention of Crayola Crayons by Natascha Biebow is a fabulous picture book to read when teaching text structure. 🔎 It is not only a fantastic example of a narrative biography, but contains the elusive problem/solution text structure!

    🤩Just ONE reason that I never looked back once 🤩Just ONE reason that I never looked back once I started the mentor sentence routine in my classroom:

My students were having these super deep conversations and even DEBATES about grammar and language. I’d never heard students be able to explain the functions of words so well before, or analyzing craft like actual authors! 🤯

    😍Teachers LOVE using the paired texts I've writ 😍Teachers LOVE using the paired texts I've written! 

📖With original passages (differentiated for two reading levels) and multiple-choice & constructed response questions that require students to go back into the text for the answers (not basic-level comprehension), you are able to tackle rigorous reading standards while integrating social studies and science content into ELA to maximize much-needed time!

Plus, bonus!! Students actually enjoy the passages' topics (no yawns through lessons)! 🚫😴

    When do YOU teach grammar? 🤓 📓If you're usi When do YOU teach grammar? 🤓

📓If you're using the #mentorsentences routine, I suggest beginning your writing time with it! You want grammar and language to be directly connected to their writing.

This also helps get students into a writing frame of mind, and often gives them a purpose for writing that day! ✏️

    🔍Research has proven that #vocabulary words mus 🔍Research has proven that #vocabulary words must be presented in context for proper comprehension.

📖That means... throw out the word lists for kids to look up in a dictionary and memorize the definition!!!

📚Picture books are vital – yes, even in the upper grades – to allow students to use the images to help with context and infer the meaning of words. One way to present vocabulary words effectively is to teach through texts you are already using for other lessons!

😍You can find over 150 weeks' worth of contextual vocabulary activities just like these in the All-Access Mentor Text Membership- link in profile!!
