Helping teachers and parents navigate literacy learning with confidence.

WELCOME!

Learning to read and write is beyond a curriculum. We all want our children & students to be lifelong readers and writers and to enjoy engaging in both activities. Reading and writing should be fun and enjoyable, yet—that’s not always the case.

The Literacy Teacher’s Life provides ​literacy learning and consulting resources that empower teachers and parents to confidently take control of their role in nurturing tomorrow’s readers and writers.

LET’S MAKE LITERACY MAGIC TOGETHER

Teaching is hard work, but you don’t have to do it alone. In my newsletter, I share my favorite tips, resources, and encouragement—straight from my classroom to yours.
