Mentor Sentences Daily Grammar Skill Practice for Early Emergent Readers BUNDLE

Description

Mentor sentences model writing through excellent sentences from your favorite read-aloud books!

This set is just what you need to implement mentor sentences in your Kindergarten classroom. I created these with kindergartners in mind, but they would also be appropriate for any early emergent readers in first grade, or even ELL students!

These mentor sentences are perfect for integrating reading and writing.

Students will:

✔listen to you read the mentor text,

✔identify/notice letters, words, and parts of a sentence,

✔read the words of the mentor sentence,

✔arrange the words to re-form the sentence,

✔learn other words that could fit into the sentence,

✔imitate the sentence by writing in their own words,

✔read their sentence,

✔illustrate their sentence,

✔and even create a class book that can be read over and over again.

Your students WILL BE reading AND writing every week!

HELP ME PLAN!

You don’t need to do all of the mentor sentence lessons in the order they come in the units. When I created the units, I put them in an order that progressed in difficulty, so these lessons spiral, but it is not necessary to stay in that order. However, keep in mind that the snowy winter and spring sets are a bit more rigorous since they are meant to be done later in the year.

*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.*
