About the store
Welcome to my store!
I’m Rebecca, a literacy enthusiast, primary school teacher and former university lecturer in Initial Teacher Education. With a Master’s of Education in Literacy Professional Practice, I’m passionate about creating meaningful, accessible resources that help students think deeply, speak bravely, and read the world critically.
After years of supporting new teachers and researching culturally responsive pedagogies, I saw how important it is for all classrooms to center student voice, inquiry, and critical thinking- and how few resources truly support that. My store *now* focuses on bridging that gap.
You’ll find a growing collection of tools designed to:
✏️ Support critical book talk
💬 Scaffold equity-focused reading discussions
🌍 Promote inclusive and culturally responsive practices
🧠 Encourage deep thinking in even the youngest learners
If you’re a teacher who believes that literacy is more than just comprehension- it's about agency, justice, authentic lived experiences and voice- you’re in the right place.

If you’re a teacher who believes that literacy is more than just comprehension- it's about agency, justice, authentic lived experiences and voice- you’re in the right place.
Teaching style
💛 Thoughtful. Inclusive. Inquiry-Driven. Empowering.
I believe every child deserves the chance to think deeply, ask big questions, and feel seen in the stories they read and the conversations they share. My teaching style is rooted in critical thinking, inclusion, and student voice, encouraging learners to engage with texts in meaningful, reflective, and sometimes challenging ways.
I now create resources that scaffold rich discussion, invite diverse perspectives, and help students connect their reading to the real world. Whether it’s a book talk prompt or a critical literacy poster, everything I design is intended to support intentional, inquiry-based learning, because when students are empowered to speak, question, and respond, that’s where true learning happens.
Because literacy isn’t just about what we read, it’s about how we think, feel, and act because of it. ❤️
