For The Love Of Teaching  (TpT Seller)
I am looking for a resource to help be better implement Guided Reading in my 2nd grade room. I have never been very strong in this area. Would this binder be what I am needing? Also does it go along with any reading program?? Also will it go along with Common Core standards??

Hello! Thanks so much for checking out our TpT store!!!
Yes, this resource (or the Guided Reading Guru) will help you implement guided reading with your second graders- especially since you are working to improve upon this. The main focus of the teacher reading binder, is exactly what it says, you will be organizing all the materials into a binder. It goes along with any reading program. We developed this file before common core was implemented, so no, it does not correlate. However, it is our mission this summer to take a look at how the CCSS directly correlate with our binder. I hope that helps! Have a great (rest!) of the school year!

Hello,
Hello,

I am an Australian primary school teacher who is looking for inspiration and ideas to get my guided reading groups running more effectively and being more engaging. I was looking at your site and found the guided reading guru pack to purchase however then I saw the teacher reading binder ultimate resource... Which one would I be better off buying? The reading binder does that include the guided reading guru resources? Is this correct? If I purchase the ultimate binder one, will I need to purchase additional add on parts or is this currently the updated and current version?

Thanks heaps,

Hi Jenna-
Thanks for your message!
Great question!!!
My first thought..if you understand guided reading, you know what you are doing with it, and just want some engaging ideas, then this will be for you:

TPT link:
http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/I-Mustache-You-a-Question-About-Guided-Reading

However, if you are looking for how to learn more about guided reading, then you would be more interested in the Guided Reading Guru resource! Yes, the Teacher Reading Binder includes the Guided Reading Guru file and also includes some goodies about organizing groups (bulletin board ideas/pictures), binder organization, and lots of pictures!

I hope that helps!

Hi!
I am an Australian teacher and I would need to change the American spelling to Aussie spelling.

Any chance you can create an 'editable' resource? You can change the PDF to a Microsoft Word format quite easily as well.

This would save you the time to manually change the spelling as you mentioned in a response to another customer.

Let me know if this can be done.

Thanks!

Why are so many of the materials available in color? It's so expensive to print with color ink?

Lesson Plan SOS Teachers  (TpT Seller)
Hello,
I understand your concern. Using colorful materials is more visually appealing for the teachers and kids using them. You can just change the print preferences to "gray scale" or "black and white" to not use color ink. Hope that helps!

Hi, I have just been looking at the Venn Diagram part of the product (which I absolutely adore). However, I just noticed that a couple of the "job descriptions" are missing the word "to" or "be". Could this get fixed please? The ones that need to be fixed are:
"It is my job select the book that we will reading during our guided reading group" and
"It is my job have all the necessary materials ready". Thanks in advance!

Hello Tamara,
Thanks so much for visiting our TpT store! We appreciate it! To be honest, I would not necessarily recommend this for a kindergarten teacher. Although much of this file is a resource for an elementary teacher, there are some activities for your students to complete. I think those might be too advanced for your kinder kiddos. However, if you are looking to just create a binder to organize your reading groups and have a resource for how to teach guided reading, then you might find this very helpful!!! Does that help??
THanks!

VERY excited about purchasing this item soon! I have a teacher friend who let me see her guru binder and I am just waiting to get some money to buy and print this life saving tpt item! (I want to print it ALL in color and get it "plastic sleeved"! ;) Question-do your students have a binder/folder that they use to keep their sheets/activities? If yes, what is the system on that? If no, where do those papers go? i.e. the "this book was just right/too easy/too hard" log or the sheet they fill out after reading the book or even the predicting or visualizing activity sheets?
Thanks!

Hi-
I have the students use a notebook where they glue these sheets inside. If
you wanted to use a binder could each child bring one from home? Or, maybe you could add it to your school supply list at the beginning on the year. Just an FYI...we are having a sale tomorrow and Tuesday and the binder will be 28% off!! :)
Take care, Nicole :)

Hi,

Lesson Plan SOS Teachers  (TpT Seller)
Hi Ellen!
We are sorry to hear you are having some trouble, we know you are excited to use your file! No, to answer your question, there should not be any sections that are blackened out. Are you using a Mac by any chance? If so, these newer PDFs can't be seen properly with Preview. To fix this, you need to download the latest version of Adobe Reader (Adobe Reader X) and use that to open it (a Mac will automatically open it with Preview if you don't say otherwise). So, in your Finder Window, highlight the file and then click on the tool in the top of the Finder Window that looks like a sprocket then choose Open With and then Other and then select Adobe Reader.

Let me know if you still have a problem with the file, or if you do not have a Mac and are seeing a different message.

Thanks!

Thank you for visiting our store! Did you first start by reading the comments for this file? I know that when I am on the fence about buying a file on TpT, I always look to see what the buyers say and that sometimes helps me make my decision!
I can help answer your question more if you can be a bit more specific about what you are looking for- only guided reading? the cover pages for the binder? Let me know exactly what you are looking for and then I can give you a better answer!

Hello!
Nicole and I make several purchases from our favorite sellers on TpT! We have also had this happen to us- we get the same "file is corrupt" message occasionally. It usually is because there is an issue on TpT's end, not with our actual file. Can you please try to download the file again and let me know if it works? It usually works for us if we try in a few days.

Melissa,
Meredith Snowden here. I sent you a message from Australia last week regarding the z and s change. I have been through the file to find the pages. Basically it is any word where there has been a z used at the end in stead of an s. Words that I found in the files were: organiser, summariser, visualise, synthesise. I have only worried about the ones that are sheets I would use with the students. Pages for me I have not worried about. PDF 2 page 37. PDF 4 page 6, 8, 10. PDF 5 page 19. PDF 6 page 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 18. PDF 9 page 3. Thanks so much in advance. Once again I have to say how great your work is. Thankyou so much.

Hello Meredith,
I am so sorry, but I am not going to be able to help you with changing it to the Australian Spelling. I thought it would only be one page that would need to be changed, but seems like there are many pages that need to be changed.We don't have any spelling programs that would change it automatically, which would make it quicker.
If you would like a refund for the cost of the file, please let me know. Or, you can contact Teachers Pay Teachers and they will issue you a refund. (Just explain the issue about the spelling.)

I am trying to put my binder together, and I made the mistake of printing everything out at once so everything is mixed up. I'm finding that some of my pages can't be right, and I think it might be because I'm working on a MAC.

Hello Sunshine!
Thanks for visiting our tpt store. Let me see if I can help to clarify some things for you. If you are interested in making a binder to organize of all of your guided reading information (groups, anecdotal notes, reading conferences), in addition to learning more about guided reading, then you would be interested in our Teacher Reading Binder. If you are just wanting to learn more about guided reading, then I would recommend our Guided Reading Guru. The guru (which is also included in the Teacher Reading Binder) includes information about grouping students, the procedues and expectations of the students/teacher in GR, and a bulletin board display. We do not have actual lessons for guided reading in either of our resources. I hope that helps to clarify some things. Please let me know if you have any questions!

If the the pages are in color in the preview, then they are in color when you purchase and download the file. There is a mix of black/white colored worksheets (which are mainly teacher resources pages) and then colorful pages (which are mainly for student resources/lessons.)
I hope that helps!!
Melissa :)
PS- Thanks for the kind words!

Hello Debbie,
Thank you for your purchase!
Here is some info. about the WinZip software:
Windows XP, 7, and Vista come with the Microsoft version of winzip built in. It is not the official WinZip, but it can create and read zip files. If you are still having trouble you can download a free unzipping program at www.download-free.com/zipsoftwaresource=ga&gclid=CIv5soKA3LECFYVrKgodjUwAuQOr, If you are using a Mac you can download it for free at
http://winzip.en.softonic.com/mac or

Please let us know if this works!!
Thank you,
Melissa :)

HI!! I saw your product and am VERY interested.... however, my school uses a combination of Fountas & Pinell and CAFE. Is this binder F&P/CAFE friendly? Can you just tell me a little more about what is in it? THANKS so much!

I am discouraged with my purchase because there is very little to use in a kindergarten classroom. I assumed I could use most of this with my new kinder class. Am I missing something or can you give me some ideas on how to use this with kindergarten? Thank you.

Hello,
I can understand why you would be discouraged with that file if you teach kindergarten. The lessons are geared towards first grade and up. However, I do think that you should still be able to benefit from creating the binder and using it to document all of your guided reading groups, reading conferences and anecdotal notes. That part of the binder should be applicable to any grade level. Can you email us at teachers@lessonplansos.com so that we can personally email you? Please reference this message on TpT in your email!
Thanks!

I purchased the reading binder and could not find the instructional reading level "cover" page. I made my own from the blank template. Am I missing something? Also wanted to add that the word "to" is missing on two of the cards for the Venn diagram activity. BTW-Thanks for a great boost to my guided reading groups! I am really happy with my purchase!

Hello!
Thanks for your message! There should be a cover page for "guided reading groups" and that is the one that I use for my instructional guided reading groups. Thank you so much for letting us know about the missing word. We will be sure to revise that once we have the opportunity this weekend. We are so happy you are pleased with your purchase! Thank you for your kind words!

Hi! I'm looking at improving my use of small reading groups. Flexible grouping is a big focus right now from admin. Would this book help me do better with groups, and does it offer anything about flexible groups? Thank you!

Hi Amy,
Sorry we took a while to respond to your message- we noticed that it got "lost" among the other responses! :) I know exactly what you mean about the importance of working with small groups!!!
This resources focuses specifically on guided reading and how to form and teach reading groups. There is a small component that talks about flexible grouping, but it is a small part of the file.
I hope that helps!

Hello!
Thanks for visiting our store! The teacher reading binder focuses on reading- specifically guided reading. The writing file focuses on lessons with the six traits of writing- ideas, organization, voice, word choice, and conventions. I hope that helps!!!
Thanks,

Hi Ladies, I teach reading (second grade) using the reading workshop format. I do lots of individual conferring, book buddies/partners, book clubs, etc. It appears that a much of this product is directly related to guided reading groups. Wondering if there are pages in the packet that support the workshop format. Thanks!

Hello Kelly!
Thanks for visiting our TpT store! I think that you might be more interested in our Rockin' Reading Workshop, which focuses on implementing a workshop approach to reading. You are correct- the reading binder does focus on guided reading.
I hope that helps!!

Hello,
Thank you for visiting our TpT store! Do you use guided reading with your kindergarten students? Are you interested in making a reading binder to organize your documents? If so, yes, this should work for you. If you are just interested in guided reading, you might like the Guided Reading Guru. I hope that helps!
Thank you!

Hi! I will be teaching fifth grade reading this year and I am looking for help on how to set up guided reading groups and keep up with RTI documentation. Your binder looks like it could help me. I notice you have several, which do you recommend for 5th grade??

Hello Aracele,
If you are interested in making a reading binder and learning how to implement guided reading, you will want the Teacher Reading Binder. If you just want information about how to implement guided reading groups with your students, then I would recommend the guided reading guru file.
Also, our blog post might help answer some questions:

I just downloaded this today, and I have several pages that are incomplete or there are black slashes throughout all of the information. Is there any way I can get a different copy of this? I have around 20 or more pages that are messed up.

Hello,
Thank you for your purchase! Do you have a mac by chance? If so, please follow these directions and let us know if they work for you.

If you purchased a PDF and it is blurry after you open it, solve it this way: on a MAC or PC, install the latest version of ADOBE READER. Then, open the file with ADOBE READER. That's it. On a MAC, make sure to "Open With" ADOBE READER and NOT Preview. If it's still blurry, that's because you are still opening it with Preview!

If you do not have a mac, please email us and reference this email message.

Thanks so much!
Melissa :)

Hi,

I really love this thank you! Unfortunately my file won't download the error message says..."Adobe Reader could not open 'TeacherReadingBinderUltimateResourceforanyTeacher-1.zip' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." Is this a common problem or do you know how I can access the file?

Thanks
Debbie
