I’m a middle school ELA teacher, and everything in my shop started as something I needed for my own classroom first. What I make and sell:

Write for 10, full-year quick-write prompts: one vocabulary word, three genre choices, ten minutes, every week.

The Interactive Reading Journal, built to work with any book. No cutting, no gluing, no prep.

Morphology bundles for grades 6 to 8: 36 weeks of no-prep morning word work and homework, done for you.

Spelling Homework and Reading at Home, two free resources that turn family homework into something families can actually follow.

Plus the writing organizers, presentation templates, and classroom tools I built because I couldn’t find the ones I needed.

If it doesn’t work for my own students first, it doesn’t go in the shop. That’s the whole standard.

Another great review 😊 I’m beyond happy that teachers find this resource useful and easy to implement, and their students will benefit from it.

“Love that this has everything I need to make morphology work fit easily into my daily routines.” Sarah M., 290 reviews, Michigan

Grateful for teachers like Sarah who trust this resource with their 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.

This made me pause and smile. 🥹📚

This is exactly the “why” behind the Middle School Morphology Bundle: instead of memorizing 40 random words a week, students learn the word parts and unlock dozens of words they can actually use, recognize, and own. Whole-school adoption across grades 6, 7, and 8? That’s the dream. Science of Reading in action, one root word at a time.

It has been a busy year, and an even busier summer, but I am excited about what came out of it, because these are not resources sitting on a shelf. I use them.

Between teaching, policy work, and building out Lit and Love, I spent this summer creating tools I actually bring into my own classroom: a full Interactive Reading Journal for grades 3-8, and a complete 36-week morphology curriculum spanning grades 6, 7, and 8. Five days a week, prefixes, roots, and suffixes, original passages every single week, all print-and-go because I do not have time to reinvent bell-ringers on top of everything else, and I am guessing you do not either.

Building three full years of a routine that actually builds on itself, where my students carry the same rhythm from their first week of 6th grade to their last week of 8th, took more hours than I want to admit. But every page in these resources has been tested on real kids in my own room, refined until it actually works on a Tuesday morning with students in front of me.

Read deeply. Respond bravely. That is the standard I hold for my students, and it is the standard I hold for anything I put my name on.

So excited to finally share this with other teachers. I hope it saves you time and gives your students the same energy it gives mine.
