April 10, 2013
Carolea Williams/Teach Bright (TpT Seller)
So glad to hear. It is my goal to create materials that allow students to work independently and that can be used for more than one task so that the time you spend printing, cutting, and laminating is worthwhile. Enjoy!

Thank you. I like creating matching activities using "triplets" so there are more choices than just matching pairs. Using this strategy for rhyming words allows more uses for one set of cards---making the printing, cutting, laminating worthwhile!

That is great to hear! Thank you for posting a comment. I offer other seasonal Sort, Pattern, Graph units as well. If your class enjoyed the eggs, they might also enjoy spring flowers, teddy bears, or ice cream cones. Enjoy!

Carolea Williams/Teach Bright (TpT Seller)
Yes, and I have had others ask that question. :) I sell the sight word sentence frames "bundled" in hard copy format on my site www.teachbright.com. Book #1 has units 1-18 and Book #2 has units 19-35. When I converted the content to a digital format for TpT, I thought buyers might like the lower price point of buying a smaller 3-unit set. And then they could add sets over time. But I think, now in hindsight, teachers might like to be able to buy a larger collection in one swoop! Thanks for your feedback.

Hi,
I just saw your demonstration on YouTube today and love your ideas and products. Will you be planning to have a sale around Teacher Appreciation week? I just spent a WHOLE this past weekend (spring/Easter weekend sale) and need to save up for future products. :)

Thanks for watching the YouTube videos! Glad you enjoyed them. I am not planning an additional sale for Teacher Appreciation but TpT always offers a discount at that time. Happy shopping and happy teaching! Thank you for your kind comments about Teach Bright products.

ELL in My Heart (TpT Seller)
Thanks for the reply. I need to use visuals in my work. I am trying to decide if I should use all pictures or all photographs. I see you created a brand called Teach Bright. Is this the name of the collection of items you sell? Do you sell your photographs or have a source you use that you could recommend to me? Thank you. Ramona
March 16, 2013
Carolea Williams/Teach Bright (TpT Seller)
Hi Ramona,
Yes "Teach Bright" is my brand and all of the products I create and sell (www.teachbright.com) use photography. 90% of my photos are those I have created using a local (and very patient) photographer. I prepare props and gather my "models" and head to his studio for a photo shoot. You might want to check into some stock photography sites if having a personal photographer is not possible! Good luck!

Can you recommend Royalty-Free Clip Art websites? Thanks. Ramona
March 16, 2013
Carolea Williams/Teach Bright (TpT Seller)
Hi Ramona,
Since I use photography rather than clip art in my resources, I do not have any suggestions for clip art web sites. Perhaps you can ask a seller who uses clip art for ideas.

Hi again, This week my children are using the Crawly Critters during workstations. We noticed there seems to be two of the same critters--a green bug with a blue tie--last on top row and 1st on 2nd row. Should this little buggie be different or am I missing something? Thanks. And thanks again for all your great graphing activities.

The "twins" are intentional. See page 3 of the packet. Searching for these look-alikes is one of the activities. Looks like your kids are using good detective skills and have found the twins!

Is it possible to buy the sight word sentence builders as a complete pack rather than downloading them all individualy?
March 27, 2012
Carolea Williams/Teach Bright (TpT Seller)
They are in smaller units on TpT so they are more affordable for those who want to pick and choose titles. All units are available in two ready-to-go books at www.teachbright.com if you prefer. They are printed on sturdy cardstock and perforated for easy punch out.

Carolea, have you ever considered creating a sort, pattern, and graph unit for transportation? I'd love it if you did (and I'd purchase it too!). Thanks for considering.
March 24, 2012
Carolea Williams/Teach Bright (TpT Seller)
Hi Nancy,
Yes, I do have a unit on transportation. I just haven't had time to format it for TpT and upload it. But I will! Thanks for asking!

valerieadams re: Sight Word Sentence Frames Units 11-13
There are times I am vividly reminded of my lack of computer smarts. This is one of those times. I really don't have a question, but I couldn't figure out another way to let you know that your product was perfect and that something between my computer and the color printer was changing the font on a few of the units. Although I couldn't figure out how to download the file again because "I Own It!" I tried something else and it worked. Thank you for helping me. I see more products below that will be purchased in the near future for my classroom.

Heidi Mordhorst (TpT Seller) re: Sight Word Sentence Frames Units 1-4
Carolea, this is a really meaty, effective--yet simple--way to practice those popcorn words! It's also very attractively designed. Thank you. I'll buy each set as I have time to make it.
My question is about getting a template for the sentence frames. Our district has the high frequency words divided up by grade for K-2 and I can see ways to recombine the words you provide so that they match our grade-leveled lists. Would you be willing to sell a basic template that I could customize?
Many, many thanks--

I LOVE your activities! Question though, What is the second picture on the sample page for the phonemic awareness activity? I call it a glove, which doesn't have a "t". Are you calling it a mitten? Is there any chance you could actually get a photo of a mitten for that card? I guess I could paste one there myself. Just checking to make sure I wasn't calling it the wrong thing! Thanks!
January 8, 2012
Carolea Williams/Teach Bright (TpT Seller)
That picture is of a "mitten." We call that a "mitten" here in sunny California where we never wear them! But you are probably thinking of the kind without the stitching between the fingers. I changed it--just for you! Check it out!

Hi Carolea,
We love your sorting and graphing units. I've used 3 now and finally, with the teddy bears, the children are beginning to see how they can sort in any number of ways. Thank you for that because it's getting easier for them with each unit. Now, I'm beginning to look at January--do you or will you be posting a snowman sort and graph? thanks.

I have purchased many of your sight word sentence frames sets on TPT, and have looked online at teachbright.com. I am hoping to look at the Read and Write through the alphabet series, but don't see it on teachers pay teachers. Will it be posted to this site soon?? Or can I only get it by mail?
I would slowly like to purchase all of your sets from TPT as they are amazing for the esl learners whom I teach.

So glad to hear you are enjoying using the sight word sentence frames with your ESL learners. I am working to get the "Read & Write through the Alphabet" series posted on TpT. It will be there eventually . . . But, yes, you can purchase it at teachbright.com now if you don't want to wait. I can mail to you. "Read & Write Science" is also a great one for ESL learners. I am working to get those units up on TpT too. So much to do! Thank you for the kind feedback!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have over 20 years of experience teaching and developing classroom resources. Over the years, one thing has remained consistent--my students LOVE to look at real-life photos. The images are colorful, motivating, and great for vocabulary development. So, I created a brand of classroom resources, called "Teach Bright," that includes photography in every resource. My students have lots of fun using the colorful photos for hands-on sorting and sentence-building fun. I hope you and your students enjoy them too!
MY TEACHING STYLE
Give children opportunities to "think outside of the box", use critical thinking skills, and stretch their minds to reach new heights.
