The goal of For the Love of Words is to provide kids everywhere with the opportunity to learn and to enjoy learning. It gets to a fundamental belief that education should not be a luxury or a drag. While it can be challenging, it is also fun and engaging. Cultivating a lifelong love of reading and writing and making affordable access to education is the mission behind For the Love of Words.
As a teacher and parent in NYC I know first hand how expensive enrichment and private education is and how limiting that can be. That’s why this resource is only $10 a month. And for the month of December, you can get a year for 60% off that also includes a year donation of For the Love of Words to a learner in need. That’s access to a full year of reading and writing guides, the chance to share ideas with a supportive community, be creative, and have a full year of back catalogue of lessons and projects for you and another learner in need.
I’m a huge fan of nostalgia. Looking back, I am so thrilled to have put a year of work into something I deeply believe in. It all started with an idea and purpose and our first book unit!
These are some of beloved titles we explored this year. Through analysis, discussion, and creative prompts/lessons, we got to the heart of what books can teach us and all the ways we can enjoy them.

Which was your favorite?
Thank you for sharing with someone in your life and enriching this resource!
"Holes" has to be an all-time favorite in our classroom. Our students love Sachar's plot twists and character connections.
So much great stuff in here.
