We believe students learn best when they experience literature—rather than simply read it. That belief is at the heart of Creative English Teacher. Our specialty is Reader’s Theater script-stories for grades 6–12, designed to get students reading literature, myths, legends, and history aloud together in the classroom. But Reader’s Theater is only part of what we offer. You’ll also find classroom games, printable resources, literary activities, and complete units covering everything from mythology and British literature to American literature, world literature, and composition.

Everything on this site grows out of our own experience as English teachers. Zachary and Rachel Hamby have spent more than twenty years the classroom, creating materials because we wanted better ways to help our own students engage with literature. We hope you’ll find something here that makes your teaching a little more creative—and gives your students a reason to be excited about what they’re learning.
