For the Grades 3–5 Teacher Who’s Done Guessing
Read-aloud lessons, literacy tools, and planning support that fit the way you teach.
You’re in The Right Place If…
Your literacy block has good pieces but doesn’t feel connected yet.
You want your students reading, writing, and thinking deeply – not just getting through the week.
You’re done piecing together a new plan every single month.
Here’s How I Can Help
LITERACY PLAYBOOKS
1:1 COACHING
FREE RESOURCES
One Picture book. One Week of Lessons. Every Month.
The Story Garden Club gives Grades 3–5 teachers a complete, tiered mentor text unit every month. Open it Monday. Teach it all week. Reach every reader in the room. No Sunday night planning from scratch.
What you get, every month
One carefully selected picture book that sparks curiosity and rich discussion.
A complete, tiered unit built around that book: mini-lessons, guided-reading scripts, comprehension questions, vocabulary activities, and writing prompts — all scaffolded for three ability levels.
Assessment tools and progress tracking suggestions so you can monitor growth without extra prep.
Differentiated extension activities for small groups and independent work, plus cross-curricular connectors to social studies, science, and art.
Ready-to-print student pages and teacher-ready slides for seamless delivery in person or online.
Join The Story Garden Club and cultivate a classroom where rich texts, intentional scaffolds, and joyful learning grow together , every month, one picture book at a time.
After years in the classroom, coaching, and curriculum work, I know how often teachers are asked to make meaningful instruction happen with limited time and little margin.
That’s why I create practical literacy tools, read-aloud support, and planning systems that help grades 3–5 teachers teach with more clarity and less overwhelm.

LITERACY SYSTEMS BUILT
