Hi Kelli! I tried to follow your instructions, but I'm still getting those blurry lines. I've emailed the tech guy with our school system and waiting for a response. Would you mind emailing me the file just in case? I'm anxious to use this with my first graders! Hopefully I'll have this resolved for next time. Thank you! :)

Hey holloway123! I am so sorry about this! If it is blurry after you open it on a MAC or PC, install the latest version of ADOBE READER. Then, open the file with ADOBE READER.
On a MAC, make sure to OPEN with ADOBE READER and NOT Preview.
If it's still blurry, please let me know and I will gladly email you the file! :)

Thanks so much! :)

Anna Ingold  (TpT Seller) re: Roll and Read Fluency Phrases {Digraphs}
Hi, Kelli! I love the Roll and Read Digraph Fluency Phrases pack I bought and I've already left feedback (4s) after looking through it. I've just gone to print out the ng page, though, and noticed that it says, "diphthong /ng/". Unless I'm mistaken, diphthongs are two adjacent vowel sounds, so /ng/ is not a diphthong. I'm sure it's a typo, so I thought I'd let you know. If you agree and have time to re-upload it, let me know so I can update my version, too. :)

Hello,

I just purchased your Old Lady Who Swallowed a Shell unit, some of the pages have black out lines where it appears there should be text such as the vowel sort pages and the roll and graph page. Is this an error? The unit looks so cute!!

Hi,
Love your roll and read packs!! I got all three. Would you be able to add a writing page to the packs that would be the same frame with six lines for the students to be able to write the phrase and take it home to practice.
Thank you so much!

Hey love2teachsped! To open with Adobe in a Mac, make sure Adobe is on your dock at the bottom. To do that, open Applications and then drag Adobe to the dock. Then, go to your downloads folder and drag the PDF on top of the Adobe icon at the bottom! I hope this helps!!!

Hi Rachel,
The cowgirl graphic has boots on and stands for what kicks off the story. I do not have a boot graphic, so I used the cowgirl. I included the graphics if people preferred to make a Retelling Rope with the paper graphics instead of the wooden pieces, which I got at Hobby Lobby.
I made one Retelling Rope for whole group instruction and my kiddos use it during Reas to Someone as well.
Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for the adorable Daily 5 posters! I love them. I was wondering if you could change the title of "read to someone" to "read with teacher" for me? I will pay you. Thanks!

Hi Lori! I am so sorry about this! If it is blurry after you open it on a MAC or PC, install the latest version of ADOBE READER. Then, open the file with ADOBE READER.
On a MAC, make sure to OPEN with ADOBE READER and NOT Preview.
If it's still blurry, please let me know and I will gladly email you the file! :)

Thanks so much! :)

MY TEACHING STYLE

I believe young learners learn best through hands on, real life experiences, and PLAY! I love teaching through children's literature, thematic units and connecting activities across the curriculum. Learning should be interactive and FUN for our sweet little ones! :)
