Learning Resources for Kids by David Mercaldo – Educational Tools in Jersey City & NYC
As an author passionate about children’s growth, I’ve created learning resources that support reading, creativity, and personal development. Based in Jersey City, NJ and New York City, I offer tools that go beyond my books—fun, practical, and classroom-friendly materials designed for kids aged 8–10. Whether you’re a parent or teacher, these resources are here to make learning exciting and meaningful for young readers and learners alike.
Reading Guides and Discussion Prompts
I provide reading guides and discussion prompts that pair with my books to deepen understanding and engagement. These tools help kids explore themes, build vocabulary, and think critically about the stories they read. They’re also perfect for parents and teachers who want to spark meaningful conversations around character development, emotions, and real-world topics in a way kids can grasp and enjoy.
Printable Activities and Worksheets
To make learning fun and interactive, I’ve developed a set of printable worksheets and activities. These include word searches, story-based quizzes, drawing prompts, and writing exercises that tie into the themes of my books. They’re great for classroom settings, homeschool routines, or weekend enrichment. I keep the tone light and the lessons subtle so kids stay engaged while learning without it feeling like extra work.
Creative Tools for Young Writers
One of my biggest goals is to inspire kids to write their own stories. That’s why I’ve included simple writing templates, brainstorming sheets, and “story starters” that help kids begin crafting their own narratives. These tools encourage imagination and build confidence in self-expression. I believe that giving children a framework to explore their thoughts creatively is one of the best ways to help them grow—not just as readers, but as storytellers too.
