Welcome to the June edition of the Jill Eggleton Scoop — sharing Jill’s literacy resources, classroom ideas, and updates to support the important work you do every day.
New Poems Are On the Way!
There was so much excitement around the launch of Jill Eggleton’s Poems for Year 3 & Year 4, and now we’re excited to let you know that Year 1 & 2 are coming soon too!

Butterfly Magic is a humorous story, grounded in a situation all kids can relate to — dealing with grouchy grown-ups — a topic that presents authentic opportunities for social-emotional learning around the competencies of identifying and managing emotions.
Visit the Book of the Month page during June to access Butterfly Magic and all of its teacher and student resources.
Dive into poetry with “Ocean Commotion,” a perfect warm-up to a successful literacy block, with quick and easy lessons that build essential literacy skills every day of the week!
JillE Poetry builds fluency, teaches students to apply phonics, and fosters creativity. Much like Scarborough’s reading rope, all of the elements are woven together, providing comprehensive support that leaves nothing to chance.
In this short video, Jill shares how powerful shared reading can be using rhythmical, rhyming texts and daily lessons on comprehension, vocabulary, fluency, phonemic awareness and phonics, and creative response.
Jill’s also done important work to engage students with sounds.
Explore Sound Poem: What Would I Do? Code-Ed’s Sound of the Month. It is designed to help students listen closely to language, hear the /ōō/sound clearly, and discover that sound in words
and print.
