English Ed. Pre ST Content Advice

Hello! I am hoping to get some advice and recommendations for a non-English major (English Ed) to help build confidence in teaching English.

Looking for texts/online resources/courses that could benefit me in understanding basic to advanced skills I may teach.

Unfortunately, I wish I had majored in English. I lack that deep and bountiful connection with all these things I find so fascinating.

Next semester I will be student teacher and I want to take advantage of my summer to study content in secondary ELA.

If anyone can help guide me in the right direction, I want to get that flavor of mastery that comes with a completely dependent degree in English, without having to put in the years of time and money.

Anything will help, thank you.

Perhaps someone on here can offer advice, or at least empathize with these feelings. Next semester I will be student teacher and I want to take advantage of my summer to study content in secondary ELA.
