Classroom Resources

Jill’s Book of the Month

Each JillE Read Aloud by Jill Eggleton is written to do more than just build literacy. Every title embeds authentic social-emotional learning (SEL) competencies, helping children practise empathy, build positive relationships, and make responsible and compassionate choices.


Meet Brachio, the gentle dinosaur who stands up for others and models courage, kindness, and inclusion.

Visit the Book of the Month page to access Brachio and all of its teacher resources.

Jill’s Poem of the Month

Like the spider, poetry can be deceiving.


Spider Lies appears short and simple, but is full of intricate strands — humour, surprise, and thought-provoking depth that lingers long after reading.


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.

Jill’s BONUS Book of the Month

Green Feathers is a short but powerful book about a chick who becomes the target of bullying because his green feathers make him look different from the other chicks in the henhouse.


A perfect text to reinforce empathy, self-acceptance, and social understanding in the classroom.


For Bullying Prevention Month, access Green Feathers and all of its teacher resources for free.
