Welcome to the place where curriculum magic happens!

Read it. Write it. Learn it. is a place for ELA teachers to unite! All 25 years of my middle school and high school teaching experiences have been poured into the posts, the curriculum, and the advice that you'll get on these pages. From my favorite grading hacks that will save you hours of time to my passion for standards based learning, you will find inspiration here. My curriculum and ideas are grounded in the philosophy that when standards, research, and passionate engagement in learning align, magic happens! Teachers, you do not have to do it alone. Lean on me and let's bring the magic back to our classrooms together.

Master the art of planning with my #1 book for teachers, Read It Write It Love It

Take it from middle school teacher, Kylie M., "Middle school ELA teachers NEED this book to simplify the planning process and really master the nuts and bolts of designing dynamic lessons that stick!" This book will transform your teaching. In it, I share the STEP Up planning system helping you to focus your lessons (and grading!) on specific standards based on data-driven decision making which will save you HOURS of time. The best part? When you order the book, you get access to our exclusive bookclub full of free, editable resources that will help you implement the ideas you learn.
