About the store
My name is Alison Du Bose Phillips, and I have created this resource with you in mind! My goal is to provide you with the very best resource to save you time, energy, and almost zero prep. Making copies of provided resources, gathering pencils, scissors, construction paper, and glue sticks, and using mastery checks workbooks for Sonday System 2 are the only things you need to spend precious prep time on with this amazing resource. I began teaching Sonday System 1 and 2 in the 2025/2026 school year. It was very difficult for me to wrap my head around all of the things at the beginning of the year at a new school with a new position. I was still learning sped paperwork, and just felt overwhelmed and overworked. After 3 quarters of just getting by, I found many resources for Sonday System 1, which I purchased and dove in. I then created google slides of my own to help solidify the learning. My Sonday System 1 class got into a weekly routine that was engaging and really took my students to the next level using the audio, visual, tactile slides. With this, I looked for Sonday System 2 resources with little success. With that, I saw a need and I am filling that need. Please enjoy this resource, as it is a work in progress, with an easy to follow routine that will have your students learning faster with auditory, visual, and tactile activities to keep them engaged. Thanks for purchasing! MerryBrightLearning Alison Du Bose Phillips

Teaching style

I am a Special Education Teacher and strongly support differentiation and student wins. With audio, visual, and tactile learning, students learning begins to solidify with the color coded google slides: speak, read, tap activities. I created this with my students in mind, and hope to share it with other teachers on the same journey.

Awards & shining teacher moments

When I made these resources for my class, I started using them in my Sonday System 1 class. I quickly saw my non-readers and non-writers learning soar! They were reading and spelling in just one week! I knew I was on to something then. And continued to create more and more. I then felt other teachers could very well benefit from something I came up with out of desperation. So, here it is! Enjoy!

My own education history

I have been helping in the classroom since 2005. Substitute teaching off and on while raising my 3 children. Then I became a paraprofessional for Special Education. Then I decided to go back to school. In 2020 I graduated with my Bachlors Degree in Leadership, and quickly entered a teachers certification program. I then became a 7th grade English teacher in 2021 and have been teaching ever since in a variety of classes. I taught 7th grade ELA for 2 years, Kindergarten through 5th grade students in an adaptive Special Education Classroom for 1 year. And now I am currently teaching students in Special Education with specific learning disabilities in reading.

Additional biographical information

I graduated from Deer Park High School in 2000. I've lived in Conroe, TX for 10 years. I have been married for 22 years, and we have 3 children, 2 boys--21 and 19 and 1 girl--17. In my free time I enjoy walks with my husband, writing books and stories, reading, dancing, singing, eating Mexican food, and savoring any moment I can with my older children.
