Jill Eggleton Literacy is the home of Jill Eggleton’s literacy work. At JillE Literacy, we bring joy to literacy learning. Teachers feel effective and inspired.
Joyful, inclusive literacy through poetry, read-alouds, and classroom instructional resources, for educators and learners across Asia, Africa, the UK, North America, and Australasia. We create educational resources for whole-class and small-group literacy learning that:
•ENGAGE young readers with diverse texts that open their hearts and expand their minds,
•EMPOWER teachers with embedded instructi
on that makes the most of every teaching moment, and
•Systematically teach the skills students need to close learning gaps and EXCEL as readers. Engage, empower, and excel are more than just words to us. They are our focus on every page of every text. Because when these things occur in a classroom, many other things happen, too. Students feel successful and motivated. And a thriving literacy community is born. Our ultimate goal is to help educators build these thriving classroom communities, where every learner’s voice is heard, every learner gets the instruction they deserve, and every learner experiences the pride of reading success—every learner, every day, in every text. Jill Eggleton, the creator of JillE Literacy, is an award-winning author and educator who has dedicated her career to creating powerful, easy-to-use resources that inspire and motivate, that build capability and confidence, and that make literacy learning a joyful experience for teachers and learners alike. Above all else, this is what we stand for, the reason behind what we create—to help educators unleash the joy of literacy learning in every classroom community.
