I'm sharing how I stopped boring my students to tears with drill-and-kill grammar and created REAL student authors who were excited to write and share!
Boost students' grammar understanding AND improve their writing using engaging, integrated activities!
In this training, you'll learn:
mentor sentences are a gamechanging best practice
incorporate a daily routine to engage your elementary students
teach writing craft and grammar with your favorite read-alouds, too
Each day, your students will work with the mentor sentence in quick spurts.
No lectures.
No workbooks.
No PowerPoints.
No fancy anchor charts or hours of prep.
Just real discussion and practical application that actually STICKS!
I know so many of you realize teaching grammar in isolation has been proven to be ineffective, but you just don’t know how else to teach it.
It’s easier to use that workbook than to try to figure out a new way with EVERYTHING ELSE you have on your plate.
But then… there your students sit, struggling to retain the grammar instruction and transfer your conventions, mechanics, and style lessons to their writing. And potentially the worst part of it all- they are BORED and so are you!
IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!
Let me share a game-changing routine with you that will transform your grammar teaching into fun, engaging lessons that STICK!
We’re 3 weeks into our first unit, and all I can say is WOW! The amount of growth I have seen in my students already is unbelievable. I cannot wait to see where they’re at by the end of the school year.

These sentences rock! I was tired of the editing paragraphs and did not think they offered good engaging learning, and these work! Students are engaged and like the books!

This is by far the best way I’ve seen to teach kiddos word work. It is so fun and the connection to reading and writing is awesome! In a really short time, I saw a huge improvement in their sentences.
