I, too thought that each chapter had response questions. It clearly says that in the description. Any chance of getting these?

I am so sorry about that and am happy to refund your money. I will look into how I do that. I never got a response back from the one other person who noticed the same thing, and of course, I got so busy, I forgot all about it until now. I'm taking that product off the site now until I actually have the time to revise it. Sorry, again...I'll check on the process to refund now.

In your description, you say there are questions specific to the text, but that is not the case. Each chapter's page is the same generic vocab, question, prediciton sheet, and there is one generic story map at the end. Disappointed that I paid $5 for this. If you do have questions for the book, I would greatly appreciate a copy, since that was really what I thought I was paying for.
--Gina--Thanks for getting back to me. If you have questions done, I'll take them. If not, a reimbursement will do. Thanks.

Hi Alex.
I am so sorry about that. I just checked on the document, and of course, you are right. I do not have specific questions in that response journal. I believe I must have copy/pasted the description for the Courage of Sarah Noble journal which DOES have specific questions. I would be happy to refund your money (just have to find out how), or revise the journal to include the questions, so you could then get the revision. Again, I am so sorry about this. It was truly unintentional. I will work on the questions this weekend and try to get the revision up by Monday. If you would like to get your money back in the meantime, I am happy to take care of that as well. Sorry, again. --Gina

I used parts of this packet while reading The Chocolate Touch with a group of rising fifth-graders. The packet saved me a lot of time and covered many important comprehension strategies.

Comprehension Connection (TpT Seller)
I did notice that someone had pointed out the typoes and graphics. The unit is pretty expensive for there to be mistakes. I do love the focus on skills though, and once the mistakes are fixed, I'll be quite happy with the purchase.

The only suggestion I would make is leave more room to write, seems squeezed on the page. I did really your activities and questions, I used it to supplement my unit on this book.

bbucci re: New York State Regions Booklet
Hi. I purchased your product and was wondering if you have a map of New York State actually broken up into the six regions. I cannot find one anywhere. If not can you direct me where to look to find one? I'd like to see the slightly different booklet you created too if possible. Thank you for your help.

Thanks so much, Gina--I'm VERY interested in any other actvities that you have from this series--Next week we will be reading Justin & the Best Biscuits in the World & will continue on, so I will be patiently awaiting to see what else you have available for purchase.
P. S. If there are several that I may want, would you consider giving me a "bundled" price?
Thanks so much!

Hi! I just wanted to let you know I uploaded all of the Unit 2 reading guides, both as separate individual downloads, and as a bundled unit all in one download at a discounted price of $20.99 (about 20% savings). Hope you find that reasonable? I will work on getting all the other units up as well. Just so you know, I added a bunch of extra activities that go along with some of the other Anthology pages and put them right into the reading guides with the associated anthology selection. I think you will really like those because it expands on the program and sort of helps bring it to life. Let me know how this works out for you! Good luck and have a great school year!

Hello Gina! I was wondering if you have any other reading products from the McMillan Reading series--the Fourth Grade purple book with the train on the front? I'm interested if you have any other products from any of the stories. Thank you!
October 17, 2012
Gina Giblin (TpT Seller)
Hello! Yes I do! I will work on getting them uploaded to TpT as quickly as possible! I have reading guides like these for every anthology selection! Glad there is someone out there who also has Macmillan and can use them!
But I do already have a bunch uploaded. I have Lost Lake, Amelia's Road, etc. Just search for the titles and you'll find them. I don't recall how many I have up, and I'm driving to work right now. But as I say just search by title and they should come up.

catwat59 re: New York State Regions Booklet
How many pages is this booklet? Does it include instructional elements like maps or diagrams or just graphic organizers for recording info?
October 14, 2012
Gina Giblin (TpT Seller)
Hello. The booklet has three pages with just organizers like in the thumbnail. I did just make a slightly different booklet with five regions and a blank line map. I also have a set of directions I could include. I just need to upload it. Hope that helps!

mjohnstone re: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Response Packet
Hi Gina,
I love your Charlie and The Chocolate Factory Unit and can't wait to use it with my students. I was wondering if You could send it to me so that I could just make a few changes. I wanted to make some of the print a little bigger and put less on a page. My students get easily overwhelmed and intimidated. I noticed that Charlie was spelled wrong on one of the pages so I wanted to fix that too. I already paid for this document and printed it out but just wanted to make a few little changes if you didn't mind. I would really appreciate it very much. I can't wait to get started on this.... I think the kids are gonna love it!!
