Mentor Texts: Comprehension Strategies

Mentor texts are used to show similarities in story structure and make effective models for various reading strategies. They help students make real-life connections with written material and draw conclusions from what they are reading. Mentor texts are a tool to explicitly teach comprehension strategies and may be used as a springboard for class discussions or the foundation for a think aloud.
