What educators are saying
Description
Mentor sentences are for elementary students who can edit mistakes on worksheets, but not in their own writing. The mentor sentences worksheets also provide opportunities to teach grammar in context. Third, students practice paraphrasing. This is an important skill when doing research writing.
⭐ Mentor sentences are short mini-lessons that weave instruction about grammar and conventions in the context of well-written sentences.
⭐ Grammar lessons in the context of writing which has been proven to be more effective than isolated skill worksheets.
WHY MENTOR SENTENCES ?
Research has shown that completing numerous grammar worksheets or editing sentences with mistakes does not transfer to writing.
You know this to be true, too. How many times have you said, “I taught it and they STILL don’t do it!
⭐ Students need to see great sentences to be able to write great sentences.
Using a predictable routine, you scaffold your class to become more independent time progresses. They move from observers of good writing to imitators of good writing.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The mentor sentence process allows students to see models of great writing and the opportunity to dig deeper into what writers do.
Instead of looking at sentences filled with mistakes, students are invited to notice an author’s style, craft, and use of grammar.
These lessons do not replace writing workshop, but rather support them.
