Learn the why and how of using mentor sentences and mentor texts!

As a mentor, a professional development leader, and a fellow teacher, these are a few of the common complaints I hear:

• “Teaching grammar is boring. The students hate it and, honestly, so do I.”

• “My students don’t make the reading-writing connection.”

• “My students make little progress in style and conventions over the course of the year.”

• “I’m tired of the basal, but I don’t know what else to do to cover the standards.”

I imagine you landed on this course page because you share some (or all) of those sentiments. You are ready to make a change, just like I was several years ago. I thought, I am already using children’s literature to teach my mini-lessons in reading and writing. Why not use those books for grammar, too?

It made sense to me that students needed to learn from amazing, well-written sentences… giving them a sentence filled with mistakes and telling them to “fix it” wasn’t working since they didn’t even know what it was supposed to look like to begin with!

After I implemented the mentor sentence routine with my students, not only was I enjoying teaching grammar through these skill-spiraling, discussion-filled lessons, but my students were also having fun, treating this time as a scavenger hunt, or a game, or a challenge. And best of all… my students’ grammar knowledge AND WRITING improved. I found my students actually trying to imitate the mentor sentences in their own writing. That’s a teacher’s dream, right?!

If you are ready to quit teaching the same old boring way, and actually see a transfer into reading and writing, this course is for you! What’s included?
