I've been there...

My teaching career started as an upper elementary teacher, and I was thrust into middle school ELA. 

While I LOVED middle school, I had absolutely no idea HOW to: 

😫 Handle the jump from 25 students a day to 250, all with different needs and barely enough time to take attendance.

😫 Plan units that hit all the standards without feeling like I was sprinting through every lesson.

😫 Teach grammar in a way that actually showed up in their writing—without spending an entire week on subject-verb agreement.

😫 Build a consistent, meaningful reading routine in 55-minute class periods.

😫 Run book clubs that didn’t feel like a chaotic game of “who’s pretending they did the reading.”

😫 Or hold meaningful reading and writing conferences without the rest of the class falling apart.

YES, I STRUGGLE WITH ALL OF THIS TOO!
CAN YOU RELATE?

You know independent reading is good for student autonomy and increases reading skills.

But implementing independent reading in your classroom feels impossible.

  • You have a million things to teach, and you don’t have time to fit in one more thing.
  • You haven’t found a consistent routine for independent reading that works week after week.
  • When you actually do make time for independent reading, you’re dealing with behavior issues the whole time (longest 20 minutes of your life).
  • Your students complain and go to great lengths to avoid reading. They act like reading is a form of torture!
  • Getting students to quiet down and focus on reading is a struggle.
  • You want to build in more independent reading time, but you’re not sure how to hold students accountable without reading logs or book reports.

I understand your hesitations because I’ve been there.

I was once the teacher with a 55-minute class period scratching her head over how to carry out independent reading. But once I found a system that worked, I never looked back. (And I want to share that same system with you.)

You know book clubs can create an authentic reading and discussion experience for your students. 

But it seems like a logistical nightmare. 

  • You have no idea how to set them up.
  • You're not sure of the best way to put students into groups.
  • You don't know what books to give your students. 
  • Then once you put them into groups... you don't know what kind of work to give your students.
  • You're not sure how to hold them accountable. 
  • You don't know how to keep them motivated and engaged...
  • ... let alone having deep, meaningful conversations. 
  • And then how do you make it fit in with your curriculum and align to standards? 
  • Or how do you assess them or make sure to meet with each group? 
  • And do you really need to meet with every group? 

You don't want to teach grammar in isolation and you want your students to apply it to their writing. 

But you have no idea what to do next.

  • You have VERY little time to teach as it is. 
  • You don't know how you're going to squeeeeeeeeze in something as big and as time-consuming as grammar. 
  • Whenever you try to teach grammar, it feels like your students immediately check out. 
  • You can't figure out how to get your students to apply it to their writing.
  • You don't know when to teach each grammar skill or in what order. 

Teaching often feels like a race against the clock. 

When the bell rings for class, the marathon begins. 

  • You’re rushing from one skill to the next, hoping to fit everything in before class ends.
  • You’re worried about how far “behind” you are - and how many standards that are left to teach.
  • Planning periods fly by as you scramble to organize lessons, prep materials, and grade assignments.
  • Your units feel rushed and disconnected because you’re struggling to map them out.
  • You’re only scratching the surface of the material before it's time to move on to the next skill or unit.
  • You’re not sure how to align your lessons with the pacing guide and curriculum, and you’re struggling to keep up.
  • You want to give your students more independence in the classroom, but the behavior issues scare you away.

It isn’t the classroom you dreamed of. You wish you could slow down, dig deeper into the material, and create a more engaging, connected learning experience. But time always seems to be working against you.

It’s not your fault. You were never shown how to fit all these ELA standards into your day - you were just expected to. You’re doing the best you can with that you know.

But now it’s time you tried something different.

You’ve been told ELA conferences are the key to student growth. But your experience has been less than ideal. 🙃

Your students aren’t applying feedback or making progress on their skills. And honestly? Conferences feel like a logistical nightmare.

  • You’re not sure what an effective conference looks like, so you’re scrambling and second-guessing yourself.
  • Planning and tracking conferences adds more work to your already full plate.
  • You give students feedback, but they keep making the same mistakes over and over.
  • There is so much happening in your students’ essays that you’re not sure where to focus your feedback.
  • You’re lucky to get through three conferences in a class period, and with 30 students, the math just isn’t mathing.
  • Meanwhile, the other students treat conferences like social hour and classroom management goes out the window.
  • Deep down, you wonder if you're even doing these conferences "right" because nobody ever really showed you how.

You want to be proud when you read your students’ essays. You want students to fall in love with reading. But you’re not sure if ELA conferences are helping students reach those goals…or just adding to your classroom chaos.

I have felt all of these things. 

In my first year teaching middle school ELA, I had such a terrible experience with book clubs that I didn’t even attempt them again for a full year.

At one point, grammar felt so impossible to fit in that I just stopped teaching it altogether. (Yikes.)

I tried to plan out my units, but everything felt disjointed—and no matter how hard I worked, it always seemed like I was behind or missing something.

And conferences? I wanted to give feedback that actually helped students grow, but I never knew what to say—or how to manage the rest of the class while I was trying.

It all felt like too much, and I was one poorly timed fire drill away from losing the last thread of my classroom routine.
SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE!

You feel like you’ve tried everything to create a balanced ELA classroom—one where grammar, writing, independent reading, and book clubs actually work together.

  • Grammar websites or worksheets that you hope will have some type of osmosis effect... only to have them start clicking through the lessons after a couple of weeks. 
  • Book clubs seem daunting and it feels hard to make them authentic... and impossible for students to have meaningful discussions. 
  • Creating an independent reading community seems impossible and you're left wondering if it's time well spent. 
  • You’ve tried to plan your year out, but between the pacing guide, required curriculum, and all the standards, it feels like a jigsaw puzzle with half the pieces missing.
  • And let’s not even talk about conferences. You want to meet with students one-on-one—but you’re not sure how to make time, what to say, or how to keep the rest of the class from turning into a circus.
  • You might be like I was my first year... just surviving week by week, wishing all the pieces of your ELA block would finally come together.
What if having solid ELA instructional frameworks for each subject could be simple and easy?
With The LIVE ELA Experience, you'll have everything you need to:

Plan smarter, not faster—without skipping a single standard.

I’ll walk you through my alternating unit framework that helps you cover every reading, writing, and grammar standard—without feeling rushed or behind.

You’ll get ready-to-use pacing guides and sample schedules for 45-minute and block periods, so you can structure your year with intention.


I’ll also show you how to streamline unit planning, scaffold lessons with ease, and make independent reading a productive part of your curriculum—without sacrificing instructional time.

We’ll tackle everything from how to keep students engaged to how to hold them accountable (without relying on reading logs or busywork).

Conferences don’t have to be chaotic—or time-consuming.

=I’ll show you how to run reading and writing conferences that actually boost student achievement—without adding to your already overflowing plate. You’ll learn how to streamline prep (we’re talking seconds, not hours), use conferences to reduce grading, and fit them into any class period—whether you’ve got 45 minutes or a full block.

We’ll cover practical strategies for managing student behavior while you conference, exactly what to say during each conversation, and how to give targeted feedback that students actually apply. I’ll also share my go-to methods for tracking progress and making conferences a repeatable, low-stress routine—all without burning out.

 

Engage your students with grammar instruction they apply to their writing.

With mentor sentences, grammar becomes part of what you’re already teaching—not an extra lesson students dread. You’ll weave it into your existing texts, using high-quality writing as examples (so you’re not stuck hunting them down every week).

I’ll show you how to build a repeatable routine that fits into just 5–10 minutes a day—perfect for those 45-minute class periods where every minute counts. And if you have more time, I’ll give you simple extension ideas that go deeper without derailing your lesson plan.

Once students get into the rhythm, they’ll start spiraling grammar skills naturally, seeing how real writers use language effectively—and applying those moves to their own writing. No grammar packets. No blank stares. Just practical, meaningful instruction that sticks.

Support your struggling and reluctant readers by creating a consistent independent reading routine.

I’ll show you how I built a reading community that boosts students' reading confidence and reading attitudes.

Plus, how you can help those students who don’t know what to read, constantly ditch books, and spend the entire reading time selecting a book.

I know you’re tight on time, so instead of trying to cram independent reading into your classroom, let’s make it work with your curriculum.

I’ll show you how to use independent reading time as a way for students to demonstrate what they’ve learned - so you can check for understanding and hold students accountable while they read.

I’m giving you realistic strategies to handle students who refuse to read (or fake read), students who act out during independent reading, and students who make it known that they hate reading.

 Then, you can dive into a book club facilitation and accountability plan that works.

I'm going to be honest. Book clubs and literature circles are not one-size-fits-all.

You have to figure out what makes sense for you and your students... and, honestly, your sanity.

I'll show you variations of book clubs or literature circles.

I'll show you how to determine how you'll put students into groups.

I will have lists and explanations of what books you should use. You'll learn what work students should do.

You'll have a plan to facilitate the groups while holding them accountable.

Plus, I'll give you the resources for each of these elements.

This is a great workshop to get grammar in our classrooms!

My favorite part of the workshop was literally listening to you explain how to use the materials. It was honest and real.

I thought the workshop would be a total sales pitch (it was not). I didn't think I could integrate grammar in my classroom (I can and you gave me a couple choices). I thought I would be lost. I bought the material for Volume one at the beginning of the school year but just haven't used it. I wasn't lost - but I did need this workshop to better utilize what I purchased. I'm eager to go back in and try. I almost want to try it all in one day!

I also thought I would never use the interactive notebook, but now I am thinking about it. I would say that this is a great workshop to get grammar in our classrooms - right now there is NO grammar, so this is something!!! I also liked that you shared your increased test scores. 

-LESLIE SNYDER

I think your workshops are wonderful and constantly check the HUB calendar to see when the next one is! I love that you stay on with us to answer all our questions. 

I am a HUB member, and so happy I decided to join after attending Martina’s mentor sentences workshop in December. It is truly appreciated.

Initially enrolled in the Book Clubs in a Box Workshop because I teach middle school resource center for grades 6-8. While I don't have enough books to do book clubs yet, I was hoping to adapt the ideas presented here to small group/resource instruction. 

Before the workshop, I was concerned about acquiring books, student accountability, and grading, but I definitely have had wins in my teaching or classroom as a result of what I learned in the workshop. 

I wanted to move away from the traditional worksheets, and you showed me how to do that.  I also plan on incorporating more verse novels in my classroom. 

My favorite part of the workshop….this is a tough one because there were a lot. I loved the book lists. I had been teaching middle school resource for 21 years, got moved to the high school--taught everything BUT ELA, then got moved back, so I love seeing the latest and greatest books for middle schoolers. The Socratic seminar was key to me because now I can "see" how you planned out your day--which brings me to the planning and pacing guides. It all makes sense to me now; the planning and pacing guides were key.  I am very visual, so I need to "see" things, once that was explained to me, I truly got it!!! You can do it too! Martina will show you how! I promise!

WORRIED THIS WON'T WORK FOR YOU?

Read what fellow workshop attendees have said about their experience...

If you want your students to be excited when you announce the next novel in class, you have to watch this workshop!

I initially enrolled in the Book Clubs in a Box Workshop because I want my kids to be excited about reading and not moan when a new novel is introduced. I was frustrated with feeling like I had to just give vocab quizzes, and comprehension questions to assess what they were reading. I didn't know what to do with the apathetic students and didn't want it to infect the whole class.

I tried a book club from what I learned in the workshop. All but one group totally thrived!! 

My favorite part of the workshop was the practicality. I love everything you do. I can have fun teaching. My kids can have fun learning. Not only will kids be excited, you as the teacher will feel like you are part of your favorite book club too! And this can happen without working 80 hours a week! When I reflect on the value of this workshop compared to what I purchased it at and how much I would have paid, I am a Hub member (so the workshops are included). The monthly price seems right.

Martina makes it look so easy!!

My favorite part was all the examples and hearing your transparency of what works and what doesn’t. I think your candor and experience was great. Before I invested I wasn’t sure because I am living on a teacher budget and it hard to spend on outside workshops hard with family budget. I just love your resources and use on the down low with required district curriculum. Writing is tested this year, Extended and Short Constructed Responses, so grammar is essential for my scholars to use, while enhancing their responses. Girl, check this out. Martina makes it look so easy!!

–ROBBIE MCCLENDON 

 

I plan to implement it right away!

I enrolled in the Grammar Workshop because I'm new to teaching GenEd 8th grade ELA and I could tell how much my students needed it.  I plan to implement it right away! I am on a very limited budget so I really appreciate you giving it to us for being members.  DO IT!

Research shows that students learn best when they are given exemplars, such as mentor sentences when initiating writing instruction. Students are better writers when they understand the rules of English, and sentence diagramming is a great way to do that. This system uses all of the latest research and provides so much practice and application as well as giving students the chance to synthesize the skills into their writing in manageable pieces. The ease of spiraling is also much appreciated!

Also, as a SpEd teacher of many years, I have seen firsthand that students with processing disabilities, such as dyslexia & dysgraphia, benefit greatly from sentence diagramming in particular because it is a very concrete way to teach/practice the rules of English so that they can apply the "code" in their reading and writing. It truly helps them understand how the English language works.  

–STACY WHITE

NICE TO MEET YOU!

I'm Martina!

When I transitioned from teaching in a self-contained elementary classroom to middle school ELA, I was overwhelmed. I had 55 minutes, multiple preps, and way too many expectations—teach grammar, writing, reading, book clubs, independent reading… all before lunch?

At first, I did what a lot of teachers do: I skipped grammar. I avoided book clubs. I tried to teach everything all at once—without a system. And it showed.

But then I stopped trying to copy what other people said “should” work and started building realistic, classroom-tested systems that actually did.

I developed a flexible curriculum structure using alternating units, so I wasn’t cramming grammar, writing, and reading into a single class period.
I implemented mentor sentences that helped my students understand grammar and apply it to their writing—in under 10 minutes a day.

I figured out how to run meaningful conferences that improved student work and reduced my grading pile.
I made independent reading and book clubs not just possible—but powerful.

Now I teach other middle school ELA teachers how to do the same—without perfection, Pinterest-level aesthetics, or endless hours of prep.

In a world of fluffy PD and disconnected strategies, my workshops give you practical, honest, and teacher-tested support to help you teach what matters, cover every standard, and actually have a life outside the classroom.

You don’t need to reinvent the wheel—you just need systems that work in real life. And I’ve got them ready for you.

Is The LIVE ELA Experience for you?

THESE WORKSHOPS ARE PERFECT FOR YOU IF...
  • You need a curriculum plan that shows how to fit reading, writing, grammar, and independent reading into your class period—without feeling like you’re constantly behind.
  • You want to run reading conferences that support independent reading, increase engagement, and help students reflect on their progress.
  • You want to run writing conferences that give students targeted, actionable feedback—without doubling your grading time.
  • You want to teach grammar in just 5–10 minutes a day—and in a way that actually holds your students’ attention and transfers to their writing.
  • You want to know exactly what grammar concepts to teach, when to teach them, and how to spiral them throughout the year.
  • You want to run book clubs that don’t fizzle out after week one—and you want practical ways to structure discussions, keep students accountable, and make the experience meaningful.
  • You want to build a consistent independent reading routine that supports your curriculum and helps reluctant readers engage.
THESE WORKSHOPS ARE NOT FOR YOU IF...
  • You have a rock-solid curriculum map and daily plan for fitting every ELA standard into your schedule—and you’re not looking to tweak or update your unit structure.
  • You’re confidently leading reading conferences that help students stay on track with their independent reading.
  • You’re already holding writing conferences that improve student work and help you grade less.
  • You already have a grammar routine that’s working—and your students are consistently applying grammar to their writing.
  • You’re confident using mentor sentences and don’t need new pacing guides, planning templates, or ideas for daily routines.
  • You’ve already nailed book clubs and have systems in place for student-led discussions, accountability, and assessment.
  • You’ve got independent reading running smoothly and don’t need help with student engagement, book selection, or tracking progress.
