You know that you shouldn't be teaching grammar in isolation in order to see your students apply it to their writing.
But you have no idea what to do next.
You have VERY little time to teach as it is.
You don't know how you're going to squeeeeeeeeze in something as big and as time-consuming as grammar.
Every time you try to teach grammar it feels like your students immediately check-out.
You can't figure out how to get your students to apply it to their writing.
You don't know when to teach each grammar skill or in what order.
I've been there... and at one point, my solution was just not to teach grammar at all. Whoops!
You feel like you've tried everything to teach grammar effectively.
- Websites that give them tons of practice, only to have them start clicking through the lessons after a couple of weeks.
- Grammar worksheets that you hope will have some type of osmosis effect eventually.
- Or you might be like I was my first year... and have just stopped trying to squeeze grammar into your lessons at all.
Engage your students with grammar instruction by using the texts and novels you're already teaching.
Your students will enjoy grammar because they won't realize it's "grammar time." You'll weave it into a warm-up routine or into what you're already teaching.
Learn how to teach grammar in a way that has students applying it to their writing.
Once you implement mentor sentences daily or weekly, your students will be spiraling their grammar knowledge each week, and you'll start to see them apply it to their writing. Mentor sentences allow students to always have quality examples of good writing, so you don't have to be the one to come up with or find the examples yourself.
Create a class-period grammar instruction framework that allows you teach grammar in just 5-10 minutes a day.
Some middle school ELA teachers only have 45 minutes to teach all ELA core content. I'll show you how to implement mentor sentences in 5-10 minutes daily. Plus, I'll give you ideas for extensions if you have more time.
This is a great workshop to get grammar in our classrooms!
My favorite part of the workshop was literally listening to you explain how to use the materials and how honest and real you are. I thought the workshop would be a total sales pitch (it was not). I didn't think I could integrate grammar in my classroom (I can and you gave me a couple choices). I thought I would be lost. I bought the material for Volume one at the beginning of the school year but just haven't used it. I wasn't lost - but I did need this workshop to better utilize what I purchased.
I'm eager to go back in and try. I almost want to try it all in one day! I also thought I would never use the interactive notebook, but now I am thinking about it. I would say that this is a great workshop to get grammar in our classrooms - right now there is NO grammar, so this is something!!! I also liked that you shared your increased test scores.

Using mentor sentences allows me to create/do mini lessons using resources that are already part of our routine… it doesn’t feel like I’m adding work.
Since I’ve been building the curriculum for my two subjects this year, I can’t tell you how this makes my life easier!!! Between CoVid and our region’s economic & EL issues, my students are nowhere near grade level for reading/writing. They aren’t ready for a full on grammar lesson, and I’m not teaching ELA this year, but Newspaper and Yearbook.
They need to be able to write, but I need to reach them where they are. Using mentor sentences allows me to create/do mini lessons using resources that are already part of our routine… it doesn’t feel like I’m adding work. I love that your well-thought-out plans have multiple options available for use, but that I’m not having to learn multiple sets of resources. It’s well worth the investment to see how you integrated the activities into your classroom, and that the variety of implementation options is outstanding.

Martina makes it look so easy!!
My favorite part was all the examples and hearing your transparency of what works and what doesn’t. I think your candor and experience were great. Before I invested, I wasn’t sure because I am living on a teacher budget, but this was more than worth it!
I just love your resources and use them on the down low with the required district curriculum. Writing is tested this year, including extended and short constructed responses, so grammar is essential for my scholars to use while enhancing their responses. I'm so glad I did this workshop. Girl, check this out. Martina makes it look so easy!!
–ROBBIE MCCLENDON
I plan to implement it right away!
I enrolled in the Grammar Workshop because I'm new to teaching GenEd 8th grade ELA, and I could tell how much my students needed it.
I plan to implement it right away! I am on a minimal budget, so I appreciate you giving it to Hub members! It makes the membership a no-brainer, just for the workshops!
This grammar program uses all of the latest research, provides so much practice and application, and gives students the chance to synthesize the skills into their writing in manageable pieces. The ease of spiraling is also much appreciated!
Also, as a SpEd teacher of many years, I have seen firsthand that students with processing disabilities, such as dyslexia and dysgraphia, benefit greatly from sentence diagramming in particular because it is a very concrete way to teach/practice the rules of English, so that they can apply the "code" in their reading and writing. This program does it in a way that is engaging and effective.
–STACY WHITE
This workshop was delivered beautifully!
I teach sixth grade, and my students are struggling a bit, so I felt listening to you explain the process and tips would enhance what I was stuck on.
Also, colleagues using the program asked great questions and offered suggestions, which was very helpful. I’ve been bumping along without anyone to talk with, and this workshop delivered beautifully. I like the various options given for Thursdays and Fridays; I am also excited to get the lesson plan version, which I think will make the tasks go more smoothly.
My favorite part of the workshop are the bonuses to come, and seeing feedback from other teachers. This workshop was fantastic!
–DIANNE LOWERY
I'm Martina!
During my first year of teaching middle school ELA, I was so overwhelmed with all the concepts that I needed to teach that I just stopped teaching grammar altogether. Then I tried using the worksheets and practice provided in my district's scripted curriculum, and my students became so bored that I had a classroom management nightmare.
I learned about using mentor sentences to teach grammar at the elementary level and knew it was the answer to all my problems but...
I couldn't find complete resources for middle school ELA teachers.
I started utilizing the texts I was already using in my classroom and began creating a grammar framework that had my students and me engaged and excited about grammar.
Even better? I started seeing my students applying what I was teaching them to their writing.
Now I've taken everything I've learned and packaged it up into an easy-to-follow workshop that allows you to accomplish the same thing.
