Description
These DIGITAL AND PRINTABLE interactive language arts notebooks are a companion to my Mentor Sentence Units, but they can be used without completing the Mentor Sentences as well because they cover Common Core language arts skills.
All of the lessons in this set cover foundational, basic skills and are compiled from Volumes 1, 2, and 3. I have had requests for this from teachers who teach special education or students with very low grammar and writing skills.
THESE ARE NOT BRAND NEW MENTOR SENTENCE LESSONS.
There is ONE activity for each week to help you work with the focus skill in the mentor sentence lesson and apply it to writing, and each one is provided in printable and Google Slides formats.

*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.*
