Picture Book Mentor Text Resources - Growing Bundle!

With this bundle, I've done the work for you! All picture book titles will guide students into discovering Author's Purpose, the ELA Common Core Standards, and the components of common writing styles taught in an upper grade classroom. More importantly, you will share amazing stories that are sure to spark thoughtful discussions!

This set includes over 100 tried and true mentor texts, sticky note templates, and the Picture Book Textplortion project that can be used with any picture book!

"By using mentor texts, the reader can virtually position him-or herself to sit beside the author and study how the text is constructed and how it communicates." - The Writing Thief, Ruth Culham

So, share an inspiring book with your students and watch as they try new strategies in their own writing. From character development to figurative language to dialog to mechanics, we learn so much from the amazing books that we read together in class.

The diverse stories on this list include a variety of characters, writing techniques, themes, and read aloud voices. Use these picture books to inspire young authors to create their own persuasive, narrative, and informative writing!
