Creative ELA’s Family Membership- What’s Included?

The Creative ELA’s Family Membership is a one-stop place for English Language Arts. Geared towards students 8-15 years old, you’ll find engaging ELA activities for your students all year.

Have older or younger students? Many of the resources and flex classes can work for them, too!

Need homeschooling or teaching English help? Resources to support YOU are here as well.

My membership is a Family Membership, meaning you pay one price for your entire family because, as a homeschooler, I know we homeschoolers often learn together!

Members can access live and flex classes, book clubs, a homeschool pen pal group, English Language resources, and homeschool support for no additional charge.

Thank you for igniting a love of creative writing in my son. Thank you for creating a place where is his challenged to grow in his writing and where he feels safe to do so. Thank you for providing classes my children are EXCITED to attend. Thank you for being a gentle teacher and an encouraging voice in our homeschool.

Do you have to be a member to join my classes or use my resources?

Nope! However, membership is a great option if you want to take my English Language Arts classes and have access to my resources while saving money.

Before I tell you more, hello! If we haven’t met before, I am Kelly, a long-time English Language Arts teacher (20+ years) and homeschooler (10+ years).

I’ve created Creative ELA because I LOVE to teach. I believe a creative approach to learning is the best way to learn, and I know from experience what a gift it is to have high-quality, engaging resources for my homeschoolers that I can afford. 

My hope is that Creative ELA classes and resources help your kids learn AND experience reading and writing in a way that offers connection, fun, and the desire to keep learning!

Essentially, Creative ELA’s membership is where I am sharing EVERYTHING I’ve learned and continue to learn as an English teacher and homeschooler.

FAQ-

Who is the Creative ELA for?

Homeschool Families! (Teachers and schoolers are welcome too!)

Ages– The materials I offer are aimed toward upper elementary and middle school students, but you know your child best, so younger and older students are also welcome.

When do Classes Meet?

Classes for students ages 8-11 will meet every Thursday from 12- 1 pm ET, and students ages 12-15 will meet every Thursday from 1 pm- 2 pm ET.

Check my Classes page for exact dates.

Creative ELA classes are offered EVERY Thursday to help families have a consistent schedule and offer students more time to write, read, and connect.

• Creative Writing Studio- 1st Thursday of the month
• Homeschool Hangout, Topics class, or Pen Pal class- 2nd Thursday of the month
• Creative Writing Topics class- 3rd Thursday of the month
• Book Clubs- 4th Thursday of the month

Inclusivity- YES! My classes welcome students from all countries, genders, backgrounds, and beliefs, and I am committed to creating a safe space for all students. All of my materials and class discussions are secular. 

Neurodiversity- Students who are neurodiverse will find my resources, classes, and unit studies offer many options and encouragement to help them learn how they learn best. I have decades of experience working with neurodiverse learners. If you have questions or concerns, please reach out. 

My child hates reading/writing– I have taught a lot of kids who hate reading and writing. It’s one of the reasons I use a creative approach. Kids do not typically hate reading and writing per se; they’re struggling because the material does not match their learning style or address their needs. My classes and resources meet kids where they are and help them learn and enjoy learning. 

I have multiple children- Great! They are all welcome to use the materials and join the classes.

I do ask you not to share my materials with other families. Instead, encourage them to join too!
