Wow! This is such a helpful and well designed resource. It uses engaging stories and I love that each has activities that focus on different story elements/literacy skills. Having materials in both digital and printed formats is a bonus!

My students loved this resource. It was so engaging and easy for me as the teacher to use. I love it when my kids have so much fun learning! I will be looking for more goodies from you!

This was a wonderful supplement to our poetry unit. My students enjoyed the activity and I felt it did a good job addressing the standards we had to cover. The activity was engaging and appropriate for the grade level.

Meet Amy, Author of Amazing Materials for You

In 1987, I began my teaching journey, and I have taught every age from babies to fifth grade as well as college and graduate school in Tennessee, Florida, Maryland, Washington, D.C., Colorado, and Virginia. Any connections there??

My undergrad years were spent at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville where I earned a B.A. in English and Psychology. Soon after, I completed an M.A.T. in curriculum and instruction at The University of Memphis. In addition to these degrees, I have completed more graduate work at The University of Maryland and The University of Colorado, Denver.

I am a mom of two young adult daughters and a cute Maltese dog. When I am not teaching, you can find me traveling, reading, hiking, or cooking.
