If you're ready for the next step...

The 4 Reading Realms Implementation Kit is here for you!

Webinars are super helpful (and that's exactly how I designed the one you're about to watch or already watched!), but sometimes it's helpful to have the next step - the implementation step - done for you. If you're feeling motivated by the ideas in the webinar to get going, but NOT motivated to start creating, that's where the Implementation Kit comes in.

The kit is PACKED with value and I was able to keep it as affordable as possible -- only $9 for all of this!

What's Included in Your Implementation Kit:

1. The "Introduce the 4 Realms" 3-Day Lesson Plan: This is your step-by-step guide to teaching the framework.

  • Slide Deck: A professionally designed, ready-to-show presentation that introduces the problem of resistance and the 4 Realms solution.

    • Daily Lesson Plans: Detailed, "copy-and-paste" ready plans for a 3-day mini-unit, complete with "I Can" statements, discussion prompts, and activity instructions.

2. The Complete 4-Poster Classroom Set (Print-Ready) Visually anchor the framework in your classroom. This is the complete, matching set.

  • Four High-Resolution Posters (PDF): A beautiful, print-ready poster for each realm: The 'My' Realm, The 'Our' Realm, The 'Real' Realm, and The 'Why' Realm.

3. The "Reading Realm Sorter" Activity Kit (Digital & Print) This is the hands-on, high-engagement activity to make the concept stick.

  • 24 "Reading Task" Scenario Cards (Printable): Printable cards for a hands-on group sorting activity (e.g., "Reading a comic book," "Analyzing a politician's tweet," "Reading a textbook chapter").

    • Digital "Drag-and-Drop" Sorter (Google Slides): A fully digital version of the activity, perfect for 1:1 devices or virtual learning.

    • Printable Sorting Mat: A graphic organizer for students to categorize their scenario cards.

    • Teacher Guide & Answer Key: Includes key discussion questions for "tricky" scenarios that could fall into multiple realms.

4. Student Affirmation Bookmarks (Printable) Put the "unconventional affirmations" directly into your students' hands.

  • Eight bookmark designs to print, cut and share with students as they work to shift their mindset about reading and their lived experiences.

5. Student Realm Reflection Handout (Printable)

  • Give students the opportunity to reflect on their growth in commanding each of the realms.

BONUS: Parent Communication Letter Template (Editable) Build a powerful home-school connection with this little something extra ❤️⭐️

  • Editable Google Doc/Word Doc: A fill-in-the-blank letter that clearly and positively explains the 4 Realms to families, validating "My Realm" (fun) reading and giving them language to support "Our Realm" (challenging) reading at home.

From bookmarks, to sorting activities, to self-reflection worksheets, you're set to print-and-go!

High-resolution posters for all four realms with mindset affirmations and real-talk for students.

It's time to face the literacy crisis head-on.

This Implementation Kit was designed for you if...

  • You're tired of hearing "This is boring" or "I hate reading" and want a real strategy to respond.

  • You see students shut down the moment a text (like a class novel or textbook) gets challenging.

  • You feel like you're constantly battling for your students' attention against a culture of passive scrolling.

  • You're looking for a way to teach critical thinking and media literacy that actually sticks.

  • You are a busy ELA teacher who loves new ideas but doesn't have 10+ hours to create all the lessons, activities, and posters from scratch.

If you nodded your head to even one of these, this kit is your "done-for-you" solution. It's not just a set of posters; it's a complete, actionable plan to transform your classroom culture.
