I have ordered them to get progressively harder, but you could do them in any order you feel necessary. The seasonal books (the last unit of ten lessons) are meant to be inserted at their appropriate times through the year.

All of the books also have reading activities that cover skills such as:

asking questions before, during, and after a story

answering questions about a story

retelling

telling what happened next

identifying central message

identifying problems and solutions

describing characters

describing setting

identifying character feelings

identifying sensory detail words

describing differences between fiction and nonfiction

identifying what speakers said in a story

distinguishing between text evidence and picture clues

comparing stories

...and more!

Additionally, there is a writing prompt for every book that ties to the theme, idea, or topic of the book.

Also included in the download is the "At-A-Glance" for all 40 books! This download will help you see all of the skills covered in the Emergent Mentor Sentences if you’d like to “bounce around” within the units.

*The mentor sentence lessons I have created are adapted from the ideas of Jeff Anderson. These lessons were born from the routine that worked well in my classroom, and the demos and examples I present are variations of Jeff Anderson's methods. This is not the only way to "do" mentor sentences in your classroom.*
