About the store
I have taught for 10 years in both bilingual and English classrooms, supporting Kindergarten through fifth grade in public and charter schools. One of the areas I became passionate about was literacy-especially using materials that are developmentally appropriate and accessible to all readers.
I also spent time doing reading intervention, where I saw firsthand how easily students can become overwhelmed by passages that claim to be "leveled" but include vocabulary or sentence structures they're not ready for. That experience shaped my entire approach to choosing and creating materials for my classroom.
Now, every passage I create is intentionally leveled, vocabulary-aware, and structured to support reading fluency and confidence. I focus on text clarity, consistency and appropriate challenge so students can grow without feeling confused or defeated.
My materials reflect years of experience helping students become stronger readers-and my commitment to giving teachers materials that just work. If you're looking for texts that are accurate in level, supportive of diverse learners, and crafted with real classroom experience-welcome. You're in the right place.

Daily 5 Tracker
This is helpful for you to know what students accomplished in centers during the week. I have a captain from each group initial to prevent students from just filling out the log. I only initial for the teacher station, which prevents interruptions. If a student is absent, I have them cross out the day and write down "absent." Students that leave the room for pull-outs can record that teacher's name under the teacher row if desired.
