Description
Grow your writers with these Mentor Texts using mini excerpts and mentor sentences. These are great to use to teach author’s craft and grammar using mentor texts. I have compiled a set of 25 mentor texts to use to create this packet. This is perfect for students in third grade, fourth and fifth grade.

- Print and digital options (see page 3 for link)
- All pages are in bw options for easy printing
- Mentor texts & sentences include: poetry, picture books, novels, short stories and more. Many of the sentences included are popular books you have in your classroom. You do not need the books to use this packet.
- Answer keys are provided for several pages, some pages have varied answers depending on students visualizing skills.
GRAMMAR FOCUS SKILLS INCLUDED:

TIPS FOR USING MENTOR PACKET:
- I usually make packets of these for my students to keep in their writing notebooks.
- These pages work great when you project the larger page with mentor excerpt on large class screen.
- Perfect for use as whole group lessons and skill focus such as warm-ups, writing activity, teacher station, independent activity or partner activity.
- When using I myself use this packet to teach whole group skill, then allow students to complete independently.

This was a great morning warm-up for us. I loved that it had a lot of repetition and it made the kids have to think.

Some of the concepts are a bit challenging for 3rd graders which is what grade I used this product with. I love the idea of getting to see these concepts in action within text and it was a nice motivator for students to seek out stories to check out!
