    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 is just what you need if you have upper grade students without grammar background knowledge.

    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 MENTOR SENTENCE LESSONS.

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

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

    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.

    *****************************************************************************
    WHAT’S INCLUDED?
    I walk you through each day’s lesson for 10 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, and a quiz aligned with CCSS with answer key.

    ★ Please download the preview file to see the layout. 

    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 for the following books:

    -Do Unto Otters by Laurie Keller
    adjectives
    -Mr. Peabody’s Apples by Madonna
    simple predicates (verbs)
    -The Adventures of Spider: How Spider Got a Thin Waist by Joyce Cooper Arkhurst
    simple predicates (verbs)
    -The Keeping Quilt by Patricia Polacco
    commas in a series
    -My Rotten Redheaded Older Brother by Patricia Polacco
    commas in a series, subject/predicate
    -Dear Juno by Soyung Pak
    adverbs, subject/predicate
    -Fireboat by Maira Kalman
    proper nouns
    -Saturdays and Teacakes by Lester Laminack
    proper nouns
    -Come On, Rain! by Karen Hesse
    vivid verbs
    -When Lightning Comes in a Jar by Patricia Polacco
    vivid verbs

    I chose books that would be in most personal libraries or school media centers. All of these are personal favorites of mine! Ideally, this unit would work best at the beginning of the school year (based on the books especially), but it could really be started at any point.

    If you want to get all of the sets now to save money, you can buy the BUNDLE FOR THE WHOLE YEAR!

    *****************************************************************************
    WHAT ELSE DO I NEED?

    ★ Just the Basics: Unit 1 Interactive Language Arts Notebook Companion: includes an interactive activity for each focus skill in this mentor sentence set.

    ★ Just the Basics: Unit 1 Vivid Vocabulary Companion: includes vocabulary activities to use the words IN CONTEXTfrom the same books in this mentor sentence set.

    ★ Just the Basics Mentor Sentences Modifications ADD-ON Pack: supports students with disabilities, English as a Second Language, or slow writers.

    *****************************************************************************
    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 units 1, 2, and 3, I put them in the order I used them in my classroom, so these lessons are in an order that spirals and gets progressively more difficult, but it is not necessary to stay in that order. Unit 4 was created to cover skills that you can insert throughout the year.

    There is a free download of the “At-A-Glance” for all 40 books in Just the Basics! This download will help you see all of the skills covered in the Just the Basics units if you’d like to “bounce around” within the units.

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

    There is a Volume 1, Volume 2, and Volume 3 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:
    Kindergarten & ELL (Early Emergent Readers)
    First Grade
    Second Grade

    *****************************************************************************
    Please remember, this purchase is for the use of one teacher. It is not intended to be shared. Please use the ‘additional license’ purchase if more than one teacher will be using it. Thank you!

    *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.*

    This feedback means so much to me because as I’ve made my mentor sentence lessons over the last ten years, I’ve put so much thought into the way I craft my units and bundles! Thank you for trusting me! ❤️ #mentorsentences ... See MoreSee Less
