I am moving to second grade this coming year and this resource has been very helpful in planning for mentor sentences in my classroom. I have used the mentor sentence resources for the last five years and my students writing and grammar have improved tremendously. I highly recommend using any Mentor Sentence resources from Ideas by Jivey.

I used these with my older child at the upper level and wanted to try to determine what level my youngest would need. We completed emergent last year and I loved all the great books and how it gave us an authentic way to apply grammar skills for her to practice. These guides will help you know skills as well as books for the units.

This unit was so helpful for our Patterns of Power grammar lessons as it provides a mentor text to use thus saving the time of searching for a book for each lesson!
