WITH STEP-BY-STEP RESOURCES

Throughout my teaching career, I was often discouraged by lacking instructional tools to do my job effectively. I spent countless hours searching for ways to help my students thoroughly understand the standards.

After seeing what didn’t work, I decided I needed something new. Something that would be easy, fun, and, most importantly, include everything I needed for student success in the classroom. That’s how my signature  Step-by-Step technique was born! And WOW, did it ROCK!

These activities not only make learners more successful, but they are so engaged ! In fact, research proves that a scaffolding approach used in my resources not only develops but strengthens student learning . I am so excited to be able to share it with you.

THAT'S MY JAM

WHY TEACHERS CHOOSE

Rockin resources®.

“Holy Guacamole!!! This is by far the BEST WRITING RESOURCE I have ever purchased!

Teaching writing is hard, and teaching writing to little people is even harder, but this is so fun and broken down into manageable steps without making you pull your hair out. thank you”.

Writing Teacher

“This is an excellent, scaffolded product! Rockin’ Resources has beautifully broken the ACE process into manageable pieces which are especially helpful to those students who required a bit more practice. I am using the resource with my LD students, but others would benefit from it as well. The three lexile levels allow varying levels to practice the same material, but at the appropriate reading level. Brilliant!”

“Should have bought the whole pack! I was looking for a year-long overview of US History for my 4th grader that didn’t require a history book. This is perfect. From the short readings for each topic, to the suggested videos and books. Plus some really fun activities to break up the monotony of reading and fill out this worksheet. The lesson plans have made planning out our year super easy.”
