This is really a great resource, and as an elementary teacher (just published my debut upper middle-grade literary fantasy novel), and someone who has done the work with other authors to create teacher’s guides, I am inspired to consider working on this for my new novel. I was recently approached by another author and a librarian if I had a teacher’s guide for students and I realized this could be a real win-win option for me. I am going to use this information to get the ball rolling and perhaps partner with my middle grade and high-school teacher peers to come up with something. Many thank!

Hi Tina,
Thanks for taking the time to share these wonderful tips with us. The playful ideas activities and interdisciplinary STEM extensions are great ideas that’ll tie in nicely with my book (especially LOVE the puppet suggestion!). Adding an intro is a helpful suggestion, too.
Do you recommend creating a matrix/chart of the book’s connections to standards by grade?
Thanks again and best wishes,

Hi Diane!
A chart connecting to standards by grades might be helpful for teachers who can quickly look and see what your book can be used to teach. If you put your guide on Teachers Pay Teachers website, it will automatically ask you what standards your product connects to. Some teachers search by standards.

You’re welcome, Susan. Just take it a little bit at a time. And there’s plenty of kidlit people to help!

This is so helpful, Tina! I started working on a teacher’s guide for one of my books a while back, but got a little intimidated. I’m inspired to finish it!
