We also believe that you shouldn’t have to spend your weekends scouring Pinterest for phonics activities, your evenings wondering if your writing workshop is actually working, or your lunch breaks questioning whether that handwriting curriculum is evidence-based or just expensive worksheets in a nice binder.

What We Do

We’ve built a platform where literacy and ELA educators can:

• Access curated, research-backed resources for teaching reading (from phonemic awareness to literary analysis), writing (from letter formation to persuasive essays), and handwriting (because fine motor skills matter, even if nobody writes thank-you notes anymore)
• Connect with a community of educators and tutors who understand that teaching literacy is part science, part art, and part convincing 8-year-olds that silent ‘e’ isn’t a conspiracy theory
• Find practical, classroom-tested strategies that actually work with real students—not just the hypothetical children who exist in curriculum guides
• Stay current on literacy research without needing a PhD to translate the academic jargon
• Share what’s working (and what’s spectacularly failing) with colleagues who won’t judge you for still using anchor charts in 2025

Why We Exist

Because literacy education is simultaneously the most researched and most debated field in K-12 education. Because the Reading Wars are still raging while teachers just want to know what actually helps kids learn. Because handwriting is making a research-backed comeback and teachers need practical guidance, not just opinions. Because writing instruction deserves the same attention we give to reading, even though it’s harder to assess and takes longer to teach.

But mostly? We exist because literacy educators are doing the most fundamental work in education—teaching humans to communicate with each other through written language—and they deserve resources that respect their expertise, honor their time, and occasionally make them laugh.

Our Promise

We won’t waste your time with fluff. We won’t push fads. We won’t pretend there’s one “right way” to teach literacy (because anyone who claims that is probably selling something).

What we will do: Provide evidence-based resources, foster genuine professional community, celebrate the beautiful mess of teaching literacy, and remind you that whether you’re teaching phonics, parsing paragraphs, or perfecting that tricky uppercase ‘Q,’ you’re doing work that matters.

The Bottom Line

Teaching reading, writing, and handwriting isn’t just about skills—it’s about opening doors. Every student who cracks the code of reading, finds their voice in writing, or develops the motor control and confidence to put their thoughts on paper gains power, agency, and possibility.

We’re here to support you in that mission—with resources that work, connections that matter, and the occasional reminder that teaching literacy is hard, important, and absolutely worth it.

Even on the days when half your class still writes their ‘b’s and ‘d’s backwards and autocorrect thinks “phonemic awareness” should be “phonetic awfulness.”

Don’t give up. It’s too important. We’ve got you.
