"The resources I use the most are the small group guided lessons. The teacher sheet keeps me on track for teaching a focused, targeted lesson, and the accompanying activities are great to use in my centers. The fact that this is already planned out for me saves me so much time!"
- Leslie C.
"I love the phonics activities! These are used to supplement my district driven phonics program. They help ensure my students really master the phonemes they are learning."
- Natalie E.
"Intervention Central and the Small Group & Centers Toolkit both have amazing resources that help me provide the best help and support for my struggling readers. I am able to meet them at their exact level and give them what they need to help them improve and grow."
- Nicole B.
Do you…
Leave school exhausted after a 10+ hour day, your to-do list still unfinished
Worry that you're not doing enough for your students, and wish you had more time and resources to differentiate?
Have guilty thoughts about not spending enough time with your family, much less getting time for yourself?
Feel like it's completely impossible to be a great teacher and still have a LIFE?
I know. It STINKS to feel this way.
But it does NOT mean you're a bad teacher, or that you're doing something wrong.
In fact, I bet you’re a really dedicated teacher.
You want your students to score well on their assessments.
You want to follow the Science of Reading - and keep your lessons fun!
But the amount of time it takes to pull all this off has got you feeling stressed, overwhelmed...
And maybe even questioning if this is REALLY the job you were meant to do.
How do I know this?
Because I’ve been there...
I’ve spent too many nights lying awake, unable to turn my brain off because I have SO many things to do at school the next day.
And I’ve felt like I was failing my students. Even though I was arriving early and leaving late, I was just doing the bare minimum to get by each day.
I knew that something had to give.
But before things got better, they got worse. I started my master's program and was completely drowning in work and grad school assignments.
With the addition of grad school, I just didn't have the option of spending tons of extra hours prepping for each school day. I was fully maxed out and barely keeping my head above water.
Determined to find a better way, I spent my winter break creating systems and templates. Armed with my new strategies, I nervously headed back to school.
When it came time to plan next week's lessons, I was shocked at how fast my literacy block came together! And it wasn't a fluke. Every single week, I used my new system for planning small groups and centers - and saved myself hours.
For the first time, I felt like I was thriving as a teacher - not just barely surviving. What a relief!
I knew other teachers could benefit from what I'd created. So I founded Learning At The Primary Pond to help more teachers get their work-life balance back!
Right now, stress and overwhelm may be your reality - just like they used to be for me. But they do NOT have to be your future - there's a better way!

The monthly materials provide consistent structure for your students, while also including enough variety to keep them engaged.
This means that your kiddos know what to expect, and you spend less time teaching routines and procedures.
Consistent structure and engaging activities mean less behavior problems in your classroom and less stress for you!
"Our school used 95% as our core phonics, and we also do daily practice with Heggerty. Using the Literacy Club materials reinforced what I was teaching at each student's learning pace. My class showed one of the biggest jumps in their reading foundations this year. I believe using the Literacy Club materials for my small groups and practice centers made the extra jump possible."
- Terri T.

“I was printing lessons from the first grade literacy club last week, and I kept thinking how grateful I was that someone already did the hard work of creating these lessons for me.”
"From one teacher to another, I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you and your dedication to helping all of us teachers. You have personally made a difference in my classroom with all the wonderful resources you have provided. You've become a staple resource in my classroom and I am happy to continue supporting you. Thank you so much for everything you've done and will continue to do."
- Ashley, 1st Grade teacher and 1st & 2nd Grade Literacy Club member
