My 5th grade students absolutely loved doing mentor sentences! These really made a difference in their vocabulary and their understanding of sentences structures.
I thoroughly enjoyed this resource. The lessons and books were perfect to introduce mentor sentences to my students. They surprised me with their imitation sentences.
I already own Volume 3 of this resource, so decided to purchase another volume so I can mix it up. Honestly, I feel that this approach to grammar works better than any I have tried. The kids like it, and the fact that it spirals helps with retention. It makes grammar meaningful in that it gets kids excited about writing.
Mentor sentences are a revolutionary teaching approach that goes beyond traditional methods. These lessons designed around model sentences selected from mentor texts allow students to dissect and understand the components of effective language use.
By integrating mentor sentences into your curriculum, you not only teach grammar in context but also inspire students to incorporate the focus skills, strategies, and structures into their own writing.
Transform your teaching by making grammar instruction both meaningful and engaging with mentor sentences.
