Fantastic resource
We are currently working on oral language and reading fluency and this resource is absolutely fabulous. My class have loved this as they already know the story and have been very engaged through out the whole unit. I have been very impressed with their performances.

Fun and engaging
I used this resource over the summer with my 8 year old son to keep him engaged and work on his confidence at public speaking. It was so much fun and engaging even my 3 year old daughter enjoyed it! We're already fans of the Old Lady Who Swallowed series, so this was just an extra bonus. Thank you for creating this resource.

Hi, I’m Kim! I’m an educator with a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Elementary Education and more than 30 years of classroom experience.
I started The Literature Lady because I wanted to make reading come alive for students—and make lesson planning a lot easier for teachers. I create resources that were way too time-consuming to create while teaching full-time, so that now you don’t have to! My passion is creating engaging, low-prep resources, such as novel studies, Word Noodle vocabulary games, and reader’s theatre scripts, that help kids fall in love with books while building real skills.
When I’m not writing or designing new lessons, you’ll find me teaching right here on the TeacherStore.io community platform! The Young Scholar Academy is an online small group learning community that teaches homeschool students in grades 1-8. We teach core classes, electives, one-on-one tutoring, and so much more! As Tiffany would say, "Come for the classes, stay for the community!"
I am also a fun of reading, baking, traveling, or hanging out with my husband, our two college-aged sons, and our dogs, Maisie and Sophie.
