Grammar That Sticks:
You heard the short (very simple) version of what the mentor sentences routine looks like in my Teacher Summit session. Want to learn even more aboutĀ it?
In this free training,Ā I break everything down, step-by-step, day-by-day, so you canĀ get a good visual of how it all works in your classroom!
Transform your traditional ELA lessons into fresh, integrated practices!
In this training, you'll learn:
The Why
Mentor sentences connect grammar to real writing, the way research says it should be taught.
The How
A simple daily routine that takes about ten minutes and replaces the grammar block you're already teaching.
The What
Teach writing craft and grammar using the read-alouds you already love.
What If You Could Teach Grammar In A Way Your Students Actually Beg For?
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!
What Teachers Like You Are Saying:
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.
