FANTASTIC! Thank you for making these gloriously adorable sheets - great for my small group interventions! One thing - the word/picture match for short e sound has "bib" written twice but not "sit," which has a picture to match to it. Wow that was a terribly crafted sentence, I hope it made sense. :) Again, these are so amazingly cute and functional - thanks!!

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
pjutras re: Sound Box Fun-CVC Elkonin Boxes
This is kind of weird...when I viewed this set after purchasing it yesterday, all 211 pages downloaded fine. Now, when I go to print this set today, I am only getting a total of 155 pages. It appears that I am missing the practice sound boxes and all of the pages that have 4 sound boxes on them. (So the pages don't correspond to the table of contents now). Just wondering if this has happened before or if you know what could be causing this problem? I have exited out and re-downloaded a few times now and I still only get 155 pages...
May 15, 2013
Laura Martin (TpT Seller)
I just re-uploaded the set to fix a misprint. Could be my fault. Let me check the download. Try to re-download in just a bit. It's 7:20 CST here.

Hi! Mel has a different set of coupons. They're a little different than mine. I'm not sure about her update. I had several requests for new coupons and full page coupons, so mine were updated over Spring Break. Thanks so much for your interest!! Hope you find something you like! Laura

Hi! I just checked the file and it seems to work fine. Have you checked to make sure you are not opening in Preview? It usually won't print that way. If you'll send me your email, I'll send you the file that way. Maybe that will work?? I'm so sorry you are having trouble!!

I also wondered, as I teach until the end of June, if you might create one more version of your sight word game that perhaps could be spring sports (soccer, baseball) or a hot weather theme. My class really enjoys playing games during literacy centers. Thanks, Linda lott@telus.net
March 31, 2013
Laura Martin (TpT Seller)
A sports themed game sounds great! I'm going to make a "Splash" themed one, also. Someone suggested sports on the ratings page. Was that you? I read the ratings through email and have not responded to those yet. Thanks, again, Linda!!

Hi Laura,
I just bought your adorable Jack and the Beanstalk unit! I love it but I'm wondering if you can fix a couple of mistakes for me, please. On page 10, Sequence the Beanstalk, the directions are on top of the sequence cards (making it impossible to use). Also, on the Black and White Label the Beanstalk, the bottom word is cut off. Thank you so much for your hard work!! I can't wait to use this next week!!

H Laura,
I love your sight word games and have purchased several. I was wondering if you would create one for spring that was not holiday related (e.g. plants, butterflies, kites, etc). I would like to have a version or two to use for the third term of grade one.
Thanks, Linda lott@telus.net

hi. i bought your short vowel party pack. i'm excited to play the game in class. however, i could not see the correlation between the words on the cards and the illustrations/pictures. i'm ashamed to admit i that i don't fully understand this pack. could you explain this to me so that i'll be able to use it more confidently and effectively?
December 30, 2012
Laura Martin (TpT Seller)
Hi, Janice!
I'm so happy you like this pack! Each of these games is focused on a short vowel. The name uses that short vowel. For instance, Happy Ants for short a. The pictures correlate to the short vowel name. Since the skill is reading the cvc word, I don't want the students to rely on the pics. Does that make sense? Let me know if you have other questions. Happy New Year!

Instead I have the file from being a bucket filler from Amanda. I will be happy to pay more. missnelsonattpt@yahoo.com

I was able to figure a lot out on my own believe it or not!! :) I do still have little, odd-ball questions, but off the top of my head, I can't think of them (go figure!) Thank you for the kind comments on my Apple activity! Oh yeah, here's two questions:
1. How long have you been on TPT?
2. How do you sell so many?!?!? I'm a little frustrated because I don't know how to price things, and I haven't sold anything yet.
What is your e-mail? Instead of clogging up your questions section, I'll just e-mail ya :)

Also, I opened up Microsoft Power Point the other night, and had NO idea how to start :( I realize it would take forever to give me the entire scoop, but if you can maybe give me a few basics, I'd appreciate it. I tried searching in Google for how to start, and found nothing. I'd love to get started, and I think once I learn a few of the basics, I'll be good to go! :) Let me know if you are willing and able to help.

Hi, Kate!
Thank you so much for your sweet remarks and support of my shop!! I appreciate it very much! I I create all my products in PowerPoint. I started out with Word but became frustrated very quickly! My graphics come from a number of places. There are several amazing artists right here on TpT. Search clipart on the homepage, and take your pick of all the awesome artists! TpT has been so easy to use! I started selling in February and have not had any problems! One thing to remember when you start creating: always check the Terms of Use for art and fonts you choose to use. Make sure they are available for educational use. No one wants to be sued! Ha! Most of the art on TpT can be used in products with no issues. I hope I've helped somewhat! If you have other questions, leave your email, and I'll be happy to answer them!! Good luck to you and thanks again for all your support!!

My graphics come from a number of places. There are several amazing artists right here on TpT. Search clipart on the homepage, and take your pick of all the awesome artists! TpT has been so easy to use! I started selling in February and have not had any problems! One thing to remember when you start creating: always check the Terms of Use for art and fonts you choose to use. Make sure they are available for educational use. No one wants to be sued! Ha! Most of the art on TpT can be used in products with no issues. I hope I've helped somewhat! If you have other questions, leave your email, and I'll be happy to answer them!! Good luck to you and thanks again for all your support!!

ronibugedu re: TRAFFIC JAM! Sight Word Game
Hi, Laura! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your Traffic Jam sight word game!!! I was wondering if you would mind e-mailing me back to let me know the exact sight words included in this game and if you would consider creating and letting me purchase additional sight words cards that may not be included in the game? Thank you in advance for your prompt reply....I really look forward to hearing from you!!!

That sounds great Laura! I'm now following your TPT store so when/if you get a chance to add some seasonal Read and Write the Room sets in the future, I can snatch them right up! :-)

I purchased your Farm Words for Read and Write the Room. They are so cute! Have you considered making more sets for Read and Write the Room that are seasonal? I would love to purchase some Halloween Words, Thanksgiving Words, Christmas Words...LOL Well...you get the picture!

Laura Martin (TpT Seller)
HaHa! I'm so glad you like the set! I actually have a list going of Read and Write the Room sets I want to do! I'm not sure if I'll get to Halloween, but I could definitely look at the holidays after that. Thanks for the idea! Let me see what I can do!
Have a great week!

Hi Laura,
How do you organize your coupons? In other words, how are they arranged so that students can look through them and choose without making a mess of them? I just purchased them and am really excited to put them into use.

Hi, Margaret!
I'm so glad you like the coupons! To store them,I bought a $2 small plastic photo album from Target that has 36-40 pages. The coupons live in the plastic sleeves on each page. The students can flip through the pages and decide which coupons to purchase. Does that make sense? I plan to do a blog post on that soon if the visual will help. I've also been asked to do a full page of each coupon and when time allows, plan to get that going, too. I'll update the product when that is complete. Hope this helps and you enjoy!Thanks again!

Keely S (TpT Seller) re: Blackline BOO! A Spooky Sight Word Game
Do you need candy for this game?
September 29, 2012
Laura Martin (TpT Seller)
Hi, there! No candy needed! Everything you need is included except a container to place the words. I use a plastic jack-o-lantern, but you could use any type container-a paper bag, a small pail, anything you have on hand! I also only print the words we are covering. There are 200 words included. I use about 60 of them. Saves on ink! : )

I would love to know how people create these wonderful things on teacher pay teachers. I love your idea. I have taught first grade for 24 years. We have 168 sight words to learn and this would be a great way to learn all of them. I would be willing to send you the list and even pay you if you were to create them. Would you be interested? Or would you be willing to email me some directions on even how to get started creating these things myself?

This looks awesome! I always wish I taught the primary grades when I see products like this! Can I ask you where you got that adorable clipart with the witch's legs?

Girl, I know! I love some cute clipart. The witch legs came from ReviDevi. She has a shop on Etsy and one on My Grafico. Have fun shopping!

Hi Laura,
I love your cards but I too need to be able to change the words for a higher grade. I think this would be great to use as an end of the day, leaving the class routine. Thanks for the free share . . these are great for us teachers who don't have a classroom budget for purchasing these kinds of things!
