SIX READING UNITS
The six reading units were thoughtfully designed for teachers to take students through all the ELA standards.
- Each day, students are introduced to a concept, the teacher models the concept application immediately with their mentor text, and then students are asked to think beyond the text with their own novels and responses or discussions.
- Students aren't just checking off a list of concepts... they are digging deeper into each one.
- Students will learn and apply literature, nonfiction, poetry, and drama reading concepts as outlined in the standards.
FIVE WRITING UNITS
Ready to have middle school ELA students who produce well-developed narratives, thoughtful and complete analytical essays, and articulate expository pieces?
- The middle school ELA writing units are broken down for teachers and students.
- No more looking for examples or piecing together a bunch of writing lessons.
- Each unit is scaffolded and builds up in difficulty daily to support students' learning to create masterful final essays.
- The narrative, literary analysis, argumentative, research, and rhetorical analysis units are included.
FOUR QUARTERLY GRAMMAR UNIT
My Mentor Sentences Grammar Curriculum Units are my most popular resources... and it's for good reason.
- Each bundle will engage your students in their grammar instruction.
- Students will actually apply it to their writing.
- Weekly sentences pulled from popular middle grade and young adult novels.
- They are designed so students develop a conceptual understanding of the grammar skills they need to be successful readers and writers.
- This is not a worksheet and test grammar curriculum. This is an authentic grammar curriculum that will have students immediately apply their learning.

KENZIE CAUDILL
Middle School ELA Teacher
I have LOVED the community that comes with the curriculum.
Having the FB group to go to when I have questions about different resources or simply browsing to find inspiration and see how other teachers are using it has been incredible to me.
My school provides a curriculum, but it's very difficult to navigate to change to meet my students' needs, and honestly, it is so huge it's overwhelming.
The resources provided via this curriculum program have so many diverse options that feel less stressful and overwhelming to work through. The videos and supplemental things provided help me see exactly how to use what's included.
It's easier for me to see another teacher in action and then try to do the same than just to be handed bundles of materials without a bigger picture idea of how to implement them.

The prep, resources, and scaffolding are unmatched. It helps me feel confident in what I am teaching and helps raise the level of rigor. I like the lack of "Googleable" answers!!!!.
I teach in a very small district. I am the only ELA teacher for 6-8 grade. I found some of Martina's resources and they made life so much easier being scaffolded for all 3 grades! After finding these resources, I knew I wanted more.
I started researching the membership and discovered it was the perfect opportunity to support the resources I already had. The more resources I downloaded, the more I realized I could raise the rigor for students. I have raised the level of my students' ability to analyze a variety of texts.
Before joining, I was worried about investing in something that doesn't "go" with the materials and books I already had. I was afraid it would take me too long to go through the materials and implement them. And I was nervous I would feel like the materials weren't "authentic" to me, and I would feel like an imposter teaching with these resources. Needless to say, all of these hesitations were wrong!!
I feel that the resources scaffold perfectly while challenging students to raise their level of work on every step. I love the community. I like reading through the questions and answers. I get so many ideas and ah-ha moments reading others' questions and posts. It is amazing. I love that Martina engages in a positive manner to all feedback!
I'm Martina
When I switched to middle school ELA, I went from 24 students to 150 students and needed practical and realistic teaching and planning strategies that also got me results.
I also wanted to go home to my husband and babies and be present in each moment I had with them.
Middle school ELA students still need a lot of scaffolding, step-by-step teaching, and TONS of examples to begin to apply their learning.
The Hungry Teacher's Hub was designed to support middle school ELA teachers by providing them with scaffolded resources, units, curriculums, and tailored training, so they can stop worrying about if they're fitting it all in and instead...
... know that they have the frameworks, resources, training, and support to enjoy teaching day in and day out.
Those of just that love teaching middle school ELA know that it is one of the most fun and most challenging jobs all at the same time.
Only those who teach middle school ELA really understand and that's exactly what the Hub is about: A supportive community that just gets it.
It’s literally a once-a-year opportunity, and it will give you hundreds of hours of your time back...
...so really what have you got to lose?
