Hi! I’m Alexis, the teacher behind WorksOnPapers.

I’m an ELA specialist passionate about helping teachers create clear, effective lessons that support strong reading, writing, and thinking. I make practical ELA resources for teachers who want strong instruction without the extra fluff. My work is rooted in a simple idea: when lessons are clear, chunked, and classroom-tested, students do better.

I started WorksOnPapers because I love building materials that help teachers teach with purpose and help students grow with confidence. I believe in smarter teaching, measurable growth, and resources that feel doable, useful, and real.

This space is for teachers who want practical support, thoughtful structure, and lessons that actually hold up in a real classroom. My resources are built to support a wide range of learners—from gifted and accelerated students who need depth and challenge, to homeschool learners, to students who thrive with explicit structure, clear scaffolds, and accessible supports.
