The Oldest Student: How Mary Walker Learned to Read by Rita Lorraine Hubbard is an inspiring narrative nonfiction book you AND your students will love. If you don’t own a copy of the book, check your local library or you might even find an online read-aloud of the text with a simple Google search!
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 THIS 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.
In fact, this unit follows the exact same structure as my Everything But The Books resources!

*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.*

Perfect companion for the book. The book is a great mentor text and I was able to use these resources easily! So glad this was available
Really happy with the quality of this resource. Found this to be well aligned with the standards I was using it for and students engaged with the materials. Easy to prep and implement, thank you so much!
Excellent resource to accompany the book I ready to my students. Love it!
The students enjoyed the book and activities. We used in summer school.
I love ALL of Jivey's mentor sentences (I have so very many lol) and I get so excited when a new one comes out. The resources are based on excellent books, with rigorous, engaging activities. I have seen huge improvements in my students' mechanical grammar knowledge, and them able to apply the learning to their writing. They love to say they'll never need to pay for Grammarly because they're so good at grammar. Doesn't get better than that! Thank you for your awesome products!
We really enjoyed learning about the Oldest Student. I love using this resource at the beginning and end of the year!
Another great addition to our mentor sentences! Thank you
I love this resource and creator, however my students noticed an error in the answer key that lead to confusion when discussing the similarities and differences of Clementine Hunter and Mary Walker. The answer key says they were both enslaved, but Clementine was born long after slavery had ended.
This is one of my favorite books to introduce to students. Such a great lesson on following your dreams and goals.
