Do you spend your nights and weekends working on your lesson plans? I know I used to. I’d spend Sundays “with” my family. Really, I was in their presence, but I was thinking about my classroom working on my computer while my family talked and visited each other. It sucked.
I had NO idea what books I should read to my students. There are so many books in the library and looking all over Pinterest and Google for great books to read with my students for read alouds and guided reading took forever.
I didn’t know how to engage my student with digital tools. I could do it pretty well with math, but I struggled to take learning with physical books and engage my students even more with digital tools in literacy.
I figured out how to take back my weekends, always know the perfect book to read and use digital tools with my students.
I made lesson plans for over 500 books for K-5 and read countless more that didn’t make the cut. These plans hit all of the K-5 standards. They engage students with digital tools, and they are for classic and new books that you may not have even heard of yet! I’m still reading books, and constantly adding new plans because I’m just obsessed with picture books! That’s why…
I did this all with my lesson plan templates that I’ve made connected to the Common Core standards.
I am so excited to invite you to join the Picture Book Brain Trust community!

Testimonials
Over 1,000 5-star reviews on Teacher Pay Teachers. See what other teachers have said about the lesson plans and the students they’ve used them with.
Why would teachers sign up for something like this?
- Is it expensive? NO! Individually I sell these lesson plans and activities for $3 each. $3 x 500 = $1500. For just $239 you are getting UNLIMITED ACCESS for the year! That doesn’t even include the new lessons and activities added monthly plus the monthly book giveaways!
- What makes this program different? I looked around. There are similar programs, and they cost more than DOUBLE MONTHLY. A lot of those websites aren’t continuously adding new books like I will be. Others don’t offer the community aspect. Others don’t have digital materials for distance learning or bilingual/dual immersion.
- Will I really have less lesson planning? If you’re on this page, I can almost guarantee you’ve gotten at least 2 of my lesson plans. How were they to use? Pretty much just print and go, I hope. If you weren’t quite sure how to use them, I’m going to be offering trainings on how to use them to help you use them or use them better.
- What if you don’t have a lesson plan I want? There’s a Request a Lesson Plan forum where you can request a lesson plan for any book you’re interested in and the lesson plan will be made for you!
