This is exactly what I was looking for-a practical guide to implementing literature circles. Everything is clearly presented and organized, so this will be a huge help for me.

Excellent product! Thoroughly prepared! Reasonably priced! Thanks so much! I am attempting Lit. Circles for the first time and have combed through many resources here on TpT and other places! This one is definitely appears to be useful as I enter the realm of 7th grade lit circles so close to spring time and getting out of school! :)

Help
Hi, this is such an EXCELLENT & THOROUGH resource! I am going to use it for my first attempt at Lit. Circles. I did experience the issue similar to the previous person who posted here. It seems that the title or top line or two of each page appears at the bottom of the previous page. I seem to have corrected it by entering page breaks on the first several pages because that bumped the rest of them down to the right spot. I don't need a new copy, but I thought I'd let you know since others might not see the quick fix. Thanks for the great product at such a reasonable price!

I don't know if anyone else has had trouble, but the formatting on some of the pages has been changed. Some of the pages are cut off (there is only part of a bookmark). I can drag the text boxes up and capture the whole page, but it is a painstaking process. Can you send me a file that has not been corrupted? Thank you. It looks great!

Hi!
Is this for "Bookmarks" or for "Literature Circles?" Please let me know, and I'll make sure you get a copy that is correctly formatted. Thanks for letting me know!

I have been an educator for 18 years; I am currently serving as a Coach in a K-5 elementary school. I also teach an education course at the graduate level. Five years ago, I founded Star Teacher Workshops, a company that presents workshops and provides consultation service for preschools and elementary schools. I love working with little ones to adults. Writing has always been a passion, so I decided to combine my love of writing with my love of education. This is how I found TpP and the wonderful service it provides. Nothing improves education like teachers sharing resources and ideas.
