    Vocabulary must be taught in context for students to truly understand the words and build relationships with them, and then in turn use them in writing and speaking. Move away from lists of vocabulary words and looking up definitions, and teach students how to comprehend with this best practice pack!

    *****************************************************************************
    WHAT’S INCLUDED?

    In this Vivid Vocabulary pack, I have provided activities designed on researched best practices for use with popular mentor texts to help you maximize your teaching time. These are the same mentor texts used in UNIT 1 of JUST THE BASICS mentor sentences, interactive activities, and Better Than Basal Reading and Writing Activities.

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

    Please look at the preview to see what is included! Every mentor text “set” of activities includes the “What Do You Think?” page for context application and the “Show What You Know” page to formatively assess students. The other activities vary based on the text and the vocabulary words.

    There are open-ended activities and ideas provided that can be used with any words, and I encourage you to incorporate past words in with the current words using these formats for frequent repetition.

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

    There is a Mentor Sentence Unit with all of the same mentor texts featured in this pack. You can also get the Interactive Language Arts Notebook Companion for the mentor sentences!

    You’ll also love to use these mentor texts in reading and writing, too! Make sure to get BETTER THAN BASAL: Complete NO PREP Reading & Writing Units for 40 Popular Mentor Texts!

    *****************************************************************************

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

    My club units have been some of my favorite resources to create because the planning and creation were guided by the teachers using them!Because of the input from your fellow teacher community, I know these units will be such a benefit to you, too! Every unit in the bundle has: 📕a week of plans that integrate multiple skills and subjects📙detailed explicit lessons, including teacher samples📒a week-at-a-glance plan📗digitally converted activities in Google Slides and Forms, when applicable📘mentor sentence lesson📕reading and writing lessons📙integration of other subjects (science, social studies, or social/emotional skills)📒printables for skill practice📗at least one other text (poem, article, paired passages)* to integrate with your lessons *this will vary each unit depending on skills covered!📘short assessmentsCheck out the latest bundle - www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/MENTOR-TEXT-CLUB-by-Jivey-2ND-EDITION-for-Grades-3-5-7058941 ...

    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
