What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“Sometimes the voices in a book have a pull—one that keeps the pages turning with little effort. Trust me, here is solace and inspiration. Here are quotes I will put on my whiteboard. Here are mentor spotlights and so many, many books to add to our personal and classroom libraries. All teachers need planners. You need this one! Here is joy and possibility.”

Penny Kittle / Writing teacher, Plymouth State University

“This book is not just a planner—it’s a calling. With space to dream, reflect, and rise, Seasons of Literacy provides what you need to lead students on a journey through a literacy-rich year with heart, joy, and purpose. It’s celebration and strategy, inspiration and instruction, bound in one beautiful, accessible planner. Whether you’re new to the classroom or a veteran word warrior, JoEllen and Julia remind us that creating a classroom community of young readers isn’t just necessary—it’s revolutionary.”

Kwame Alexander / Emmy® Award–winning producer, best-selling author, speaker, and educator
