Getting kids to love reading isn’t a one-person job. Whether you’re a teacher, librarian, parent, bookseller, or homeschool tutor<\/strong>, you need help to find good books for young readers and resources to make sharing and teaching those books easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s where my community comes in. I share extra resources every week with my paid community, including new book releases I’ve read and loved, what I read each month, and classroom resources like novel units and book tasting menus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My community is hosted on Patreon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What is Patreon?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Patreon is a platform that allows people to support creators in a subscription-based way. With Patreon, you subscribe to your chosen creator\u2019s page for a fee and receive additional (often exclusive) content from them on a regular basis. It\u2019s a great way to support a creator you like, while also getting more resources from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patreon also has extra features like a community chat that allows for live discussions. Unlike with blogs, creators can post videos, podcast episodes, and attach downloadable resources like PDFs in a seamless way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
