Hey there! I’m Carla, and I’m glad you dropped by! My goal with this site is to share teaching tips for all areas of literacy including phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing for grades K-8. I love sharing resources with teachers, and it makes me happy to help take a little off the overflowing platters of teacher duties. I hope you’ll find my site helpful and my resources worthy of using with your students.

Takes a little time to prep, but, wow, what a fun and functional resource! My students loved using the summarizing paper bag book. It really helped them solidify this concept in a neat, creative way. Thank you for all you do!

Oh my goodness!!! Not only is the seller so quick to respond to questions, she is so sweet!! This set is absolutely amazing! Not only does it have a great variety of holidays and seasons, but there are so many to choose from!!! I love that there are mock ups for both digital and printable resources. I am in love with your work! Thank you so much for these great quality mock ups!

I have two students who struggle with reading. I needed something to help build their self-esteem, but I didn't want to reinvent the wheel either. This was perfect! We do a poem each week. Monday, we read through it together. After they each do a cold read for me, we highlight our struggling words. Then Tuesday-Thursday, we do the activities. On Friday, they read it once more for me, and we chart their improvement. Their self-esteem has grown so much. They love taking them home to read each week.

I have bought and love all of your concept of word poems and activities! Now with the updated version, there is so much more to love! Great for teaching Kinders concept of word which is so important to reading! Thank you!

My favorite children's book author, and now my favorite tpt seller for comprehension activities. Thanks so much for creating a visually appealing product that is also of great quality. This is especially wonderful for those of us who can come up with great content, but lack the creativity to make something that kids actually want to complete;)

Using these with my reading small groups has been such a great addition to instruction. The fluency skills have improved and they are able to attempt words they might have just skipped over otherwise.

I wish I could just use these instead of my reading series! I planned to use this on a short week when I didn't want to assign a new story in the reading book. It ended up being used by my sub since we were quarantined. The students LOVED it! I will be using these again and purchasing other author studies as well. Thank you!
