TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Angelique C. says, “AMAZING! One word is really all this review needs, but I wanted to let prospective purchasers know that they won’t be disappointed with this resource. It is so detailed, with plenty of examples, and the students thoroughly enjoyed the interactive notebook work that was associated with it. I love how we were able to refer back to those notebooks throughout the summer even when we weren’t working on our mentor sentences. Thank you for an AMAZING resource!!!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Annie S. says, “I loved using Mentor sentences when I taught elementary ELA, so I was really excited to find a similar resource for the secondary classroom. The mentor text choices are excellent, and the layout of the digital versions works perfect with google classroom. It’s exactly what I was looking for. I’m already talking to my team about purchasing more units. Thank you!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Claire C. says, “Hand down the best resource I have ever bought! Mentor sentences have become a staple in my literacy block and the language development of the students has improved out of sight. It is so comprehensive. Thank you so much!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Christine V. says, “So as I sit here in my classroom trying to manage this plan of hybrid teaching…I have to say: During the last three zoom meetings with my team, I was able to participate in the meeting while still setting up the resource in my 6th-grade google class. For the first time in YEARS of teaching, I have the first six weeks of lessons already posted! I cannot believe how easy it was. I’m looking forward to using this with my middles this year. As much as I hoped we would be done with this pandemic, I, like others educators need all the help we can to make things work. We have been digital since late March 2020. These resources will be worth the cost (hella low) and make my life easier. Auto-graded?? #signmeup.”
