Creative ELA Member
Creative ELA is a membership for homeschoolers, teachers, and families who are interested in helping kids learn and enjoy learning.
Creative ELA’s Membership Includes
Live and flex classes, book clubs, a homeschool pen pal group, and English Language resources (see below) for all ages.
If you’re looking for creative classes that inspire kids to read and write and help them become stronger readers and writers regardless of their interests or current abilities, you’re in the right place! Keep reading to learn more.
Before we dive in, 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.
My hope is that Creative ELA classes and resources help your kids learn AND experience writing in a way that offers connection, fun, and the desire to keep writing!
Essentially, Creative ELA’s membership is where I am sharing EVERYTHING I’ve learned and am learning as an English teacher and homeschooler.
The Creative ELA Membership is a one-stop place for English Language Arts.
The membership is a great option if you want to take my English Language arts classes, save money, and have access to all my resources. You’ll seriously save a ton—like 93.5%!

Why do I keep my membership so low?
- I know how expensive it is to homeschool.
- I love teaching.
- It won’t be able to forever.
I have to raise the price each year. I add more classes and resources and I know it’s worth it.
In 2024, membership costs doubled, and they will probably double again in 2025, but as long as you remain a member, your price will not increase, no matter how many new classes and resources I add each year.

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.
Inclusivity- YES! My classes welcome students from all countries, 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. What kids usually hate is not reading and writing but the methodology or learning in a way that doesn’t fit their learning style or 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!
Additional Questions
What are your qualifications? I have a BA in English and received my secondary English teaching license in 2004. I taught English for nine years in middle and high school classrooms. In 2013, I became a certified creative writing facilitator. I started leading women’s and youth creative writing circles for Women Writing for (a) Change, Bloomington, and in 2017, I started teaching online for Outschool. I teach on Outschool, privately through Curiosity Encoruaged, LLC (Creative ELA), for Cambly, Kindred Explorers, and Women Writing for (a) Change, Bloomington.
Now that you’ve started Creative ELA, will you still teach on other platforms? Yes, if your student is currently one of my students, my classes on Outschool will remain. If your student needs additional help or wants more time reading and writing in a community, they are also welcome to join me there! You can also find me leading classes for Women Writing for (a) Change, Bloomington, Kindred Explorers, and Cambly.
Do you offer refunds? No, but you can cancel your monthly membership at any time. If you purchase a yearly membership and are unhappy, please get in touch with me.
What happens after I sign up? You’ll receive an email from me within 24 hours, usually much quicker, that includes everything you’ll need to make the most of your membership, including a code for when you register for live or flex classes. The code makes all your classes free.
