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.
INCLUDED:
- 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:
- Adjectives
- Verbs
- Word Choice
- Commas In a Series
- Dialogue
- Fragments
- Punctuation
- Capitalization
- and more
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.

I LOVE these mentor sentences!! I have a majority of the books where the sentences are pulled from and they lend themselves perfectly to start a writing mini-lesson with them. I wish you had another pack for opinion or informative writing too!

I love the format! There is an example of the skill through an excerpt of a real text as well as having students apply the skill to their own reading. I have them look through their AR books to find examples of the skills!
