A New Kind of Classroom Library
Built on the latest scientific research on learning to read, JillE Literacy provides the TIME, TEXTS, and TOOLS you need to elevate literacy instruction in your classroom.
To engage young readers, teachers need books and poems that spark emotion, imagination, critical thinking, curiosity, and creativity. JillE Literacy is available in print and online with enhanced interactivity to engage students even more.
Reach Every Student with Engaging Texts
JillE Literacy Read Aloud Books, Poetry Cards, and Shared Books are available in print and online and feature rhythmical, musical language and engaging stories that help teachers model and share the joy of reading.
JillE Literacy small-group books are specially designed to engage young readers with high-interest nonfiction and thought-provoking stories while systematically building their decoding, comprehension, and critical-thinking skills. Available in print and online.
Thought-provoking stories and SEL mini-lessons help children explore a variety of emotions, experiences, and perspectives as they develop essential SEL competencies
Explicitly and Systematically Taught Foundational Skills
At its essence, reading is the product of two cognitive elements— language comprehension and decoding. You cannot read if you can’t decode accurately. However, you cannot learn to read by just learning to decode. JillE Literacy embeds explicit instruction and repeated practice in foundational literacy skills throughout every text, uniquely using highly engaging books and poems rather than decodable texts.

I have been a teacher for 18 years, and I have become a much better teacher of reading and comprehension by using the panel suggestions in the guided and shared reading books. The notes do a GREAT job meeting students’ diverse needs.
Jill Eggleton understands how demanding it is to provide “just-right” literacy instruction to a classroom of students with different instructional needs. With JillE Literacy, teachers will spend less time planning and more time teaching with this simple, effective approach.
The Right Tools to Save Time
Increase valuable instructional time by significantly reducing the planning and preparation time needed to create effective and differentiated literacy lessons.
Professional development supports are built into every page of the Take and Teach Books
Prompts and guiding questions on the page support in developing comprehension skills and strategies for students
Designed for Differentiation
No two children are alike when it comes to literacy development. Reading abilities vary from child to child—regardless of age. That’s why it’s essential to differentiate materials and instruction based on children’s stage of literacy development rather than their chronological age. Whole-class resources use scaffolded read-aloud and shared reading approaches to make grade-level texts accessible to all students, regardless of stage. Small-group resources use leveled materials to target the skills appropriate to each student’s developmental stage.
