LITERACY LESSONS & LOVE
Welcome to The Teacher Lady Show, a joyful and justice-centered space created by author, educator, and literacy advocate Erica M. Burrell. This show was born out of a simple yet powerful goal: to support the grownups raising and teaching children through the hard but meaningful work of love. Whether you're a parent, educator, caregiver, or community member—this channel is for you. Every week, we explore one powerful topic across three engaging segments—each grounded in literacy and rich with tools to help children grow and adults glow. Expect real talk, playful teaching, and heart-forward reflection, all wrapped in joy. Because love work is hard—and no one should have to do it alone.
3+ Episodes weekly
This is where the magic begins. Teacher Lady Reads is your front-row seat to interactive, joy-filled storytime led by Erica—your storytelling fairy godparent. With expressive voices, meaningful questions, and a whole lot of personality, this segment brings high-quality picture books to life. Designed to build excitement around reading and deepen comprehension, it’s like having a vibrant classroom read-aloud delivered straight to your living room. Perfect for little learners—and the grownups who love them
Every story deserves a second look—and Behind the Book is where grownups get the insight they need. These thoughtful picture book reviews go beyond the pages to explore the deeper messages, themes, and usefulness of each title. Erica shares who the book is best suited for, how to use it as a resource, and what makes it special (or not). It’s your honest, educator-informed guide to building a meaningful home or classroom library—with glows, grows, and guidance you can trust.
Love a good lesson plan? Teacher Lady Speaks is your go-to segment for big-picture reflections and practical advice—all rooted in the week’s theme. Drawing from over a decade of experience as a parent, teacher, and education leader, Erica offers resources, insights, and real talk to help you connect the dots. This is where we zoom out from the books and into the lives of the children we’re shaping—with clarity, compassion, and a sprinkle of humor. Think of it as your grownup lesson plan for raising thoughtful, thriving kids.
