About the store
Hi! I’m Jessica Kidd, the teacher behind Kidd Lit. I’ve been in education for over 10 years, teaching both elementary and middle school, with a special passion for middle school ELA. I love creating engaging, interactive resources that help students build stronger reading, writing, and vocabulary skills — and that make teachers’ lives easier.
My classroom focus has always been on making literacy meaningful, whether that’s through Greek and Latin root studies, literature-based units, or creative writing projects. Every resource in my store has been tested with real students and designed to be clear, ready-to-use, and classroom friendly.
When I’m not teaching or designing, you can usually find me with a good book, coaching a dance team, or exploring the Idaho outdoors with my family.
