Welcome to Must Love Teaching ELA!



Welcome to Must Love Teaching ELA!

On this blog, our authors will be sharing insights, motivational messages, and practical teaching strategies for teaching English/language arts. We hope you’ll find the posts to be inspiring as you encourage your students to love their language and to wield it well!

In the coming months, we’ll be sharing posts about

  • helping students engage with and understand informational texts,
  • teaching grammar in a meaningful and connected way,
  • connecting grammar and writing instruction,
  • coaching students to become successful writers,
  • using focus and annotation to help students improve as writers,
  • incorporating creative assignments in teaching literature,
  • improving reading comprehension,
  • guiding students to write fabulous summaries,
  • teaching students HOW to spell,
  • promoting literacy through classroom publishing projects,
  • incorporating some of those tricky standards like teaching mood,
and more!

If you have a topic you’d like us to tackle, please let us know. This blog is for all ELA teachers, so we want to address your specific areas of interest. Also, if you’re interested in being a guest blogger, please send Dawn an email at dburnette@dgppublishing.com with a brief bio, a topic idea, and a short writing sample.
