For Educators
Stories are meant to start conversations.
At Inkwell & Friends Publishing, we believe a story can be more than something students read—it can become a doorway to discussion, discovery, creativity, and deeper thinking. Our educational resources are designed to help teachers use stories to invite questions, explore ideas, strengthen literacy skills, and give imagination room to grow.
Teacher Editions
Every Inkwell & Friends literary work intended for classroom use is accompanied by a Teacher Edition designed to help educators take students deeper into the text. These editions pair the complete work with classroom-ready lessons, discussion questions, writing opportunities, and activities exploring literary elements such as characterization, symbolism, theme, point of view, foreshadowing, and ambiguity.
The goal isn’t to provide students with the “right” interpretation of a story. It’s to give teachers tools that help students read closely, think critically, ask better questions, and develop interpretations of their own.
Free Classroom Resources
We’re building a growing collection of free resources for teachers who want to bring more creativity, curiosity, and storytelling into the classroom. From writing prompts and story starters to discussion activities and creative-writing workshops, these resources are designed to be useful, adaptable, and easy to bring into a lesson.
Turn college, career, and military readiness into something students can mix, create, and explore. The CCMR Soda Shop combines a playful themed menu with a classroom activity that encourages students to investigate future pathways, make connections between readiness opportunities, and imagine where their own interests might take them.
Bring Inkwell & Friends to Your School
Stories become especially powerful when students have opportunities to talk with the people who create them. Inkwell & Friends offers opportunities for school visits, author conversations, and writing experiences designed to help students see themselves not simply as readers, but as storytellers with ideas worth exploring.
