What Other Teachers Are Saying

Equipping ELLs has been a lifesaver this year! I am a 2nd year ESL teacher (18th year teaching). Last year I had no newcomers and this year I have 5 newcomers who speak 4 different languages. The newcomer materials have been wonderful. I love the vocabulary words, books, grammar lessons and games each week. I would have been lost with these materials!

These resources were exactly what I needed for my middle school ELD students! The content was engaging, age-appropriate, and accessible for English learners, with clear instructions and well-designed activities. I appreciated the alignment with language development goals and the inclusion of visuals and scaffolding strategies that made the lessons effective for my students at various proficiency levels. It saved me time in planning while providing meaningful practice for my students. I will definitely check out more resources from this creator in the future!
Gabrielle Dallazia
I love being part of a community that understands the struggles of finding the appropriate material to educate our ELLs. I don’t have to think about anything and what I need is a simple click away. I am a push in and pull out teacher so the digital centers made it easy for me to upload for my ELLs to work on when they are in their homeroom and it reinforces what we are learning

I have a student who came from Russian with limited English who was able to decode but not comprehend. I overestimated her, thinking she could do more than she really could. Then, I remember what Beth said about creating comprehensible input. So I started using the High Frequency lessons. I wasn't sure about it, but I trusted the process. She was able to read, write and comprehend what she was doing. This was a total success!

Joining Equipping ELLs has GREATLY helped me to work with my ESL students. I also love the fact that all of the curriculum and activities are so easy to find and implement.

Welcome to Inspiring Young Learners

At Inspiring Young Learners, we are dedicated to providing high-quality resources and support for teachers of English Language Learners. As the founder of this company, I bring years of experience as an ESL-certified homeroom teacher, having taught in a low-income public school in Chicago and a private IB school in Panama. With an M.Ed in ESL and Curriculum and Instruction, I pour my knowledge into every resource I create. My personal experience as a second-language learner living abroad helps me develop materials that make students feel welcomed and safe as they learn a new language.

But I’m not doing this alone. Inspiring Young Learners is backed by a dedicated team of former teachers who bring their own rich experiences to the table.

  • Our team understands the challenges you face because we’ve been there too.
  • We collaborate to ensure that every resource is engaging, supportive, and empowering.
  • We believe every ELL deserves access to high-quality, inclusive education that builds confidence and skills.
