My Project

Grammar is an important skill and vital skill in the classroom no matter what age. A strong grasp of grammar helps students understand the structure of language and how sentences are put together. Showing students how grammar is used in context through these mentor text rather than in isolation will help students see the relevance of grammar to reading and writing.

These books will help me to integrate grammar along with continuing to support my students in reading, vocabulary, and also writing through the use of mentor sentences.

Mentor sentences provide students the opportunity to notice and imitate grammar and craft their own well-written sentences. This project has a rich and captivating collection of picture books that I plan to use to help me better support all of my learners and bring my grammar instruction to life in a more fun and engaging way.
