I strive to publish materials that are kid-centric, easy-to-use, and sustainable. That being the case, the following products will make your school year better than ever.

Your new math facts program: Fact Car Rally Race. Mastery of the math facts is the foundation of all things math, so a program that keeps kids focused on truly memorizing their tables is essential. In Fact Car Rally, students create their race cars during the first week of school and progress around the race route as they pass fact quizzes—addition and subtraction for youngers, multiplication and division for olders. “Way better than Rocket Math,” say kids and teachers alike! And way more effective than gaming apps.

Your new writing program: Super Sentences & Perfect Paragraphs. Don’t be fooled by the expensive textbooks, software licenses, and complicated teacher editions published by the big boys! Everything you need for an entire year’s writing program is right here in one, easy-to-use and engaging package.

Your emergency lesson plans: EZSubPlans. Be prepared for that emergency absence by prepping your plans now, before you’re desperate. It’s easy with EZSubPlans—just click, print, and relax! There are sets for 3^rd, 4^th, 5^th, and 6^th grades, but they’re largely interchangeable. In fact, I use all four sets at fifth grade, meaning I’m already covered for up to eight emergency absences. Eight!

Your new reading fluency program: Why Use Drama? My free reader’s theater primer outlines ways to make Read Aloud Plays work for you. Take a look, and then download a couple fun plays to hook your students during the first weeks of school. My Tigger play is currently free, and if you’re serious about Halloween, check out titles such as Birthmark, the Money’s Paw, and the Headless Horseman.
