This resource is designed to enhance the teaching of grammar in the context of reading and writing by using mentor sentences. In this resource, mentor sentences, or sentences that highlight a grammatical point, were chosen primarily from published writing that likely will be familiar to students. Teachers also can write mentor sentences or select sentences from student writing. The purpose is to show students how to notice grammatical points when reading and apply this knowledge to their own writing.
