The current pilot study evaluated the effect of a set of explicit sentence writing lessons on a first grader’s writing and identified the types of errors made before and during instruction. The participant was a 6-year-old white male with a learning disability. An exploratory AB single case design was used to detect and describe participant writing during baseline, intervention, and maintenance phases. A series of 12 sentence writing lessons were administered three times per week for four weeks. Lessons focused on writing complete, simple sentences with correct mechanics and incorporated a sentence planning page and a self-checklist. Results indicate the participant improved his capitalization and punctuation (Tau- <jats:italic>U</jats:italic> = 0.50) but not his sentence length or complexity. He primarily made punctuation errors and wrote incomplete sentences at baseline, both of which improved significantly after lessons were completed. Implications for future research and practical implications are discussed.","PeriodicalId":47818,"journal":{"name":"Early Childhood Education Journal","volume":"125 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147708636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mentoring is a key component of field experience in teacher education, yet little research has examined mentoring in the context of infancy. This study explores the mentoring practices of an experienced infant teacher working with four pre-service early childhood education and care (ECEC) teachers in the infant setting of a university-based school. Using reflective journals, interviews, and portfolios, the study identifies factors that support pre-service teachers’ understanding of infancy pedagogy. Findings highlight mentoring content; child development, relationships, time and space concepts, observation, infancy practices, and mentoring actions; including guidance, encouragement, observation, and reflection. The study introduces the Professional Womb as a conceptual model of mentoring, emphasizing the ethics of care, professional love, and relationships, discussing implications for teacher education programs and infancy field experiences.","PeriodicalId":47818,"journal":{"name":"Early Childhood Education Journal","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147708637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
