⭐️⭐️SAVE BIG ON THE BUNDLE!⭐️⭐️
Mentor sentences model writing through excellent sentences from your favorite read-aloud books! This bundle is just what you need to implement mentor sentences in your Kindergarten or First Grade classroom. I created these with emergent readers of K & 1 in mind, but they would also be appropriate for ELL students!
These mentor sentences are part of a balanced literacy approach. Students will listen to you read the mentor text, identify/notice words, punctuation, and parts of a sentence, read the words of the mentor sentence, arrange the words to re-form the sentence, learn about a part of speech and talk about other words that could fit into the sentence, imitate the sentence by writing in their own words, read their sentence, illustrate their sentence, and even create a class book that can be read over and over again. There is also a “quiz” for each week over the skill you worked on. Your emergent readers WILL BE reading AND writing every week!

If you need more proof that the numerous volumes of mentor sentence curricula created by Ideas by Jivey are a best practice in the classroom, download the case study! The download presents the data collected over the 2016-2017 school year in the form of a case study.

*****************************************************************************
HELP ME PLAN!
You don’t need to do all of the mentor sentence lessons in the order they come in the units. When I created the numbered units, I put them in an order that progressed in difficulty, so these lessons spiral, but it is not necessary to stay in that order. The seasonal unit was created with holiday-themed books that can be used throughout the year.
There is a free download of the “At-A-Glance” for all 40 books in the Emergent K-1 sets! This download will help you see all of the skills covered in the units if you’d like to “bounce around” within the units.
*****************************************************************************
WHAT ABOUT OTHER GRADE LEVELS?
Mentor Sentences can be done in ALL grades! Please tell your teacher friends about mentor sentences for their grade:
Kindergarten & ELL (Early Emergent Readers)
First Grade
Second Grade
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!

*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.*

Great value
Love this bundle! It includes tons of helpful resources and has been a great addition to my classroom materials.
As always, amazing
I long used mentor sentences in the classroom as a graded 4/5 teacher. When I began literacy intervention and coteaching, this resource was effective for whole class instruction and intervention with older students needing more support. These are comprehensive and high quality resources for all ages.
Love mentor sentences!
This is such a great resource to teach mentor sentences. The worksheets were very engaging for my students and easy to follow and prep.
Good grammar resource
This resource has been very helpful in my 1st grade classroom. We use it in our grammar block and they love it!
Simple yet engaging
I have loved mentor sentences for years. It gives students a framework for creating their own.
The BEST resource!
I absolutely love this resource. The activities are amazing and it has been so useful in teaching those topics that we have to "fold in" in a very new and interesting way. This was worth EVERY penny!
Great resource!
I absolutely love Jivey mentor sentences resources! They are so well put together and I have everything I need to teach grammar using mentor sentences.
Very well thought out
Thank you for putting this resource together. My students benefitted from writing the sentences.
This was a great resource to use in my classroom. My students enjoyed this resource and kept them engaged.
I have used your resources in my classroom for years. This summer they have also been very helpful working with struggling readers. Thank you for all you do!
Great addition to our curriculum that was lacking in grammar. My students were engaged and on task.
I love all the resources this seller shares! The mentor sentences have been a big hit with my ELLs. They are very easy to scale up or down.
These are so great! Mentor text sentences have been a game changer in my students' writing ability.
This is a great resource for students to transition from writing single words into sentences.
I love everything this seller creates! great resources and highly engaging.
My students love doing these! Thank you so much!!
I love mentor sentences. This resource has great texts and everything is well-thought-out. I love how it focuses on specific grammar skills every week. Thank you for this resource!
We've only done the first week, but my students love it already! I can't wait to see how their writing grows over the next few months! Thanks!
Loves using this daily with my students. I also love how it focuses on a specific skill weekly!
I love mentor sentences. I used the 3-5 units when I was a reg. ed classroom teacher. I am not SPED and my kiddos love them and I love the grammar aspect to the lessons.
This is such a great resource! My student's writing has improved since implementing Mentor Sentences.
Wanted this for our first graders after using it in 3rd. Such great actiivites and texts.
Love, love, love - my only issue is that I don't get to work with it enough in my classroom.
This is a great resource. It is well laid out and easy to use. The students enjoyed this resource for enriching their learning. We love using these mentor sentences in class.
This is a good beginning resource. I do wish that it was more leveled for Kindergarten and First Grade. The assessment piece is way to easy for First Grade. My class loves the writing portion.
This was a great supplement to our writing focus for the day.
Just started using with students and so far I really like this resource.
I used the upper grades mentor texts last year to so much success I was worried when I got lived to first that I wouldn’t have a similar experience. I was wrong! Thank you for this super well thought out resource.
My students and I LOVED these activities! It was fun to settle after recess to a book then revisit it over the week. The first graders loved to cut and glue the mentor sentence together and I was thrilled to read through what they were able to write by the end of the week! The predictable sequence for the activities was also great!
High quality! This resoure was exactly what I was looking for my Grade 1 and 2 class.
This is very well organized and my favorite is the cumulative list of all books and what skill they are touching on to help with my planning.
The stories are great- and the activities really help students learn the skills. They were engaged the entire time.
Great Product! It worked well for me. My students truly enjoyed the product.
I absolutely love this Mentor Sentence resource! My students love the stories and I love the grammar and sentence practice!
Thank you for this resource, it is great and I have loved using it!
This resource was so helpful! My students enjoyed the activities and planning was a breeze!
My students love this resource. It is engaging and helps build their reading skills.
Love this resource!! I plan on implementing it in summer school. I would also recommend having the sentence to be able to cut and paste like second grade bundle has.
Thank you for making and publishing this resource.
This resource was very helpful when working with my students!
I love this practical approach to grammar and writing! This is well put together and engaging. Thanks for a great resource!
I use these with my second graders. I love watching them grow and apply their skills daily. This has been a great resource!
Mentor Sentences are the best thing EVER. Seriously. My students enjoy them, too! I've used the older grades bundles as well (when I taught 2nd and 3rd) and have always had great success!
