Affordable, Printable, and Fun: Why Teachers & Parents Love My Early Literacy Packs

If you’ve ever searched for playful, engaging, and budget-friendly resources to support early learning, you’re in the right place.

As a children’s author, librarian, and lifelong advocate for literacy, I’ve spent decades helping families and educators turn everyday moments into joyful learning opportunities. Now I’m thrilled to bring that same energy to my Teachers Pay Teachers store, where I create printable activity kits and song-based learning packs for young children.

From preschool classrooms to living room storytime, my materials are designed to support the five early literacy practices: Read, Write, Sing, Talk, and Play—all through rhythm, rhyme, and FUN.

What You’ll Find in My TPT Store

Each resource in my store is designed to:

  • Support ages 2–6 with developmentally appropriate literacy and fine motor skills

  • Blend education with play—because that’s where real learning happens

  • Use music, rhyme, and movement to build engagement and retention

  • Be affordable, no-prep, and printer-friendly for busy teachers and caregivers
