Oh, my!! Wow, I am so glad I found this. You must have been reading my mind because this is basically how I introduce and teach writing to my students. Thanks a zillion!!!!
I love the creativity you put in to this. Great ideas! Thank you for all your hard work and I look forward to using this in my own classroom. I especially like the editing materials and rubrics. These are things I have been lacking!
I am sooo excited to use this!! We have so many different writing programs that they have given us so there is little direction. This will help tremendously!! Thank you!

Hello,
I've purchased this and really looking forward to using it but it just shows streaks. I've tried on various computers now. All with the latest copy of adobe. If it can't get fixed, I will need my money back please.
What's your e-mail address? I can e-mail it to you and you can try that way. Or, if you'd rather contact TPT Support, they will be able to help you.

I downloaded this and it is blurry and showing streaks. I did download the newest version of adope. Please help I would like to use this, I even purchased 2, one for home and work computers. I either need 2 more clear copies which is what I paid for, or to be reimbursed.
Oh no! It sounds like a TPT glitch. You only needed to purchase 1 packet if you're the only person using it. I suggest contacting TPT about this issue. So sorry! I hope this gets resolved soon!

Hi,
A bit of an offside question, but I was wondering if you can tell me what program you (and seemingly everybody!) use to create these things? They just look so polished and amazing!!!
Thanks!
Hi there, I'm so sorry! This is an easy fix. It sounds like you may need to download the newest version of Adobe. I've heard that can be a problem sometimes from other sellers.
Here is the link to get the newest version of adobe:

Hi! I just purchased your packet, and when I downloaded to print. There are black streaks across. Do you have a suggestion on how to correct this?

I am looking for a writing program for my 1st graders. Is yours all set and easy to use? i don't have time to come up with lots of extra stuff to supplement. Please let me know your thoughts.
I'm sorry, there is a story in this packet that centers are these two characters and their "jobs." It would not work if I switched anything. I apologize!

I was wondering if you think this would be a good writing program for students with disabilities? I teach 5th and 6th graders but they are between 2nd-4th grade level. Thanks!
I teach first grade and have used this with my students this year. However, a friend of mine teaches 3rd and uses it successfully with her students, as well. I provide dotted line paper (for younger students) and regular lined paper.

Hi!
I ordered a few of your products and many of them are coming up with big black lines through things and I would really like to use them. Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks!

Hi there, I'm so sorry! The pages should not have big black lines. Don't worry. This is an easy fix. It sounds like you may need to download the newest version of Adobe. I've heard that can be a problem sometimes from other sellers. Or, if you'd like, I could e-mail you the file to see if that works.

Is this unit already correlated to the common core for 1st? Thanks!!
Hi everyone! My name is Lyndsey. I am a first grade (third year) teacher. Teaching first grade is magical! I love being a part of my students growth and progress as they experience many of their "firsts" in life.
