Ladies @ Lesson Plan SOS Teachers - I got the rating scale to come up, so please disregard my previous message. I think there must be a lot of traffic today on the TPT site, so everything is running a bit slow. Anyway, thanks again for such a great product!
Hello!!
Thank you, first, for your wonderful ideas!!
Second, Is this included in the Ultimate Reader package?
I don't want to own something and purchase the same thing.
Thank you!

hi girls,
I love your SOS ideas and creative innovative teaching ...Id like to purchase it all!!! HeeHee the Typical teacher I am for sure..I teach 2nd grade after teaching 3rd for 17 years..its a breath of fresh air, without FCAT although I do consider myself an enrichment teacher since I only know 3rd grade and it seems you ladies teach that way as well withyour literature studies etc. However, If you see that my cart has double purchased, would you be kind enough to let me know....Thanks so much...I want to get this done now...so that I can enjoy summer break! :) Ivy Soffin
Hello!
Thanks you for your kind words, Ivy! I just emailed the customer service at TpT and explained your situation. If you double purchased the item, they will refund your money. I will let you know when I hear any more information from TpT.
Thanks!

I was wondering what skills the worksheets cover. I teach kindergarten and sometimes things marked for k-2 are too hard for my class. My class is currently reading emergent level books.
Hello,
Thank you for visiting our store. This file has more ideas and activities to use during your guided reading time, not really any skill based worksheets. I do not think this would be the best option for you.
Thanks for visiting our TpT store!

Is the Guided Reading with Pizazz different than the reading binder?
Hello,
Thanks for checking out our TpT store! Yes, the Guided Reading with Pizzazz is different from the Reading Binder.
Check out our blog post, which will give you more info. about the file:
I am trying to purchase a bunch of your wonderful activities that you have been so kind to share, however, they are not being added into my cart with the sale price... any suggestions?!
Hello-
There was a glitch (sale prices would not have been reflected until checkout). All is fixed!! Thanks for letting us know! :)

I just bought the guided reading activities with pizzazz, I love it and it is very useful, but there are many pages with black lines going through it. Pages 26-36 the Story journal, please let me know if this is on purpose or a mistake, because it takes up much of the page.
Hi- Thanks for your message!
Are you using a Mac by chance? Many Mac are not able to view the newer pdf's. The lines won't be there when you print it out. You can download the latest version of Adobe Reader and it will fix any problems you have when viewing pdf's. If you still have any trouble, send us an email at teachers@lessonplansos.com for further help. Thanks for visiting our TpT store! :)

When I downloaded this great looking packet, many pages were unreadable because of thick black lines across the page. How can I download this successfully? What should I do?

I love your Guided Reading Packet, but some of the pages have black smudges across them and I have tried opening them on two separate computers. I tried to download Adobe Reader X on one of my computers and now I can no longer view PDF files, so I do not want to try that again. Any other suggestions? cakirby
Hello!
The "smudges" only happen in the preview because some Macs cannot view the newer pdf's. If you print the file, those smudges won't be there. If you would like, you can send us an email at teachers@lessonplansos.com and I can email you a pdf of the file.
Thanks!!

I was wondering if this file was included in the Ultimate Reading Guru download. Thanks!!
p.s. I just bought the back to school bash file, and I LOVE it!!
Mariannehttp://data.teacherspayteachers.com/images/product/Submit.png
Thank you for the question (and the compliment on the back to school bash!) No, the Guided Reading with Pizzazz is not part of the Guided Reading Guru or the the Ultimate Teacher Resource. The Guided Reading Guru IS part of the Ultimate Teacher Resource. The GR with Pizzazz is separate from all files.
I hope that helps to clarify! Thanks for visiting our TpT store! :)
Hi Kmorris- I just responded to your comment, please check it out and email us with any questions that you still may have!
Thanks,
Melissa

It's hard to tell what kind of activities are included in the download. I just purchased your Guided Reading Guru file, how is this different. And could you maybe explain some of the activities included.
Sure! The "Pizzazz" file includes 3 guided reading manipulatives, a parent letter explaining the reading strategies, and 20 pages of worksheets that 1st-3rd grade students can do with their guided reading book-looking for contractions, syllables, character study, etc. We've enabled a full preview on our TpT page for that file and you can see pictures of some of the manipulatives on our recent blog post at lessonplansos.blogspot.com. The Guru file contains more activities for teachers to get their groups up and running. I hope this helps answer your question!!

Hi there! I love your materials and have purchased a few in the past. I just bought this resource and was looking through it and something has happened to the font on the majority of the pages. It comes out as a solid black line where there should be text when I open it with my PDF viewer. Not sure if this is because I'm a Mac user or not, but I won't be able to use many of the pages with how they are currently showing up. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Hi there!!
Thank you for purchasing our file! Can you email this message at teachers@lessonplansos.com so that we can help you address this issue? Thanks so much!

Between the two of us, we have taught a combined total of 26 years across all elementary grades 1-6. More importantly, we LOVE teaching and are excited to help teachers with their lesson planning!
