The 2019-2020 Monthly Mentor Text Club Bundle is complete!
There are now 12 weeks of COMPLETE lessons ready to use again year after year!
All twelve units of one-week lesson plans are less than $3.50 each when you buy in at the club bundle price!
WHO SHOULD USE THESE CLUB UNITS?
Using mentor texts is one of the best ways to maximize your teaching time. You are able to teach multiple skills, subjects, and topics with just one book!
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN EACH MONTH’S UNIT?
You will notice that the units align in best practices with my other resources, so if you are already using other components like Mentor Sentences, Better Than Basal, or Everything But The Books, they can easily be incorporated into your plans without breaking stride.
(The mentor text books are NOT included. If you don’t own a copy of the book, and can’t purchase it, check your local library or you might even find an online read-aloud of the text with a simple Google search!)
These sets do NOT use any of the books or articles previously used in other resources!
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM JIVEY’S OTHER RESOURCES?
My Mentor Sentences and Better Than Basal resources do not provide explicit sequenced weekly lesson plans. This is so that you can move in and out of each unit as you need and go in any order you’d like. The units in the club are just like my Everything But The Books resources with explicit lesson plans, and should be taught in the order presented in the unit.

Great Product
I love these mentor units and kids and I are excited about new ones.
Great resource
This is a quality product that will support your students' learning!
Such a variety
This product has a variety of texts for students to be exposed to. Each text is a high level of literature that the students enjoy.
I have used mentor texts for years. This particular resource, as with other of Jivey's resources, is among the best. It covers a variety of topics, especially grammar and editing, which are necessary skills for becoming better readers and writers.
We have used a variety of mentor sentences from Jivey and have enjoyed all of them so far in our homeschool. Such a fun, unique, and quick way to learn and practice grammar concepts.
These are wonderful and easy to use. I love how this product promotes read alouds in the classroom. Very engaging!
I love how comprehensive this product is! It is done with so much thought and connection. Thanks!
My students have enjoyed read alouds and when I use mentor texts to engage them in whatever the skills is that we are focusing on at that time.
Students have absolutely loved mentor sentences this year! It is a nice routine and great way to break down grammar but also include a mentor text to reference and use throughout the week or to make connections with other disciplines. I highly recommend this collection!
Excellent resource. I would recommend this to other teachers in the Junior grades. Essential for any ELA programme. Take a look at her videos on YouTube to see how she runs her literacy programme.
We love using these mentor texts to supplement our curriculum.
I like the mentor texts and ideas given for teaching various writing and grammar skills.
We used this resource most every day during summer school. It was helpful to help get my students with extra practice. Thank you!
As with all of the mentor text and sentence activities created by Ideas by Jivey, my students were totally engrossed in the books selected and loved doing the lessons. It's easy to tailor an activity to my grade and proficiency levels. Looking forward to more from her!
My 5th grade students absolutely loved doing mentor sentences! These really made a difference in their vocabulary and their understanding of sentences structures
Just what I was looking for with a complete read-aloud resource that also supplements all the reading skills we have to teach. Our reading basal leaves much to be desired so this will increase our reading engagement this year.
I loved this resource! Thank you for making such an engaging product. :)
I LOVE using your mentor sentence activities, and so do my students!! I always wish I had more time to spend on them, because I see so much growth and excitement from the students as they work on these.
One of the best resources on TPT for using quality literature and mentor sentences. Students are engaged in the texts and activities.
This is another great product. I love how everything is tied together.
This is a great resource for planning mentor sentences.
