We do not use CSCOPE. We have a district made curriculum. My products align with many common teaching objectives, but they are not specifically designed to align with a particular curriculum.

I have purchased 3 of your picture book notes and love them. I am hoping you do more! I noticed on this one, The Gardener, the at the top of some of the quiz pages it says " Harvey Potter's Balloon Farm. I also have that set. Thought you might want to corrrect those pages before someone gives you a negative rating.

I just downloaded an updated version of Adobe and attempted to try your download again. Unfortunately, I got the same result. I just purchased 8 other downloads from TpT and had no trouble.

Again your download does not have any words printed on the cards. Please provide a complete download of your product. Thank you.
December 30, 2012
Lisa Frase (TpT Seller)
I just downloaded it to check. Everything was there. When this happens, it's almost always a technical issue on the buyer's end. Two things to check: 1) Do you the most recent version of Adobe? Please download the most recent version and give it a go again. 2) Do you have a Mac? I know that I have the same trouble trying to open up a pdf made on a Mac. I believe there are solutions to the problem, but since I don't own a Mac, I'm not sure what you can do about it. Please let me know if you still have trouble, so that we can find a solution together. I apologize for the inconvenience.
December 30, 2012
chuzenis re: Sarah Plain and Tall Word, Picture, Definition Match Cards
The download of your product was not complete. There is nothing other than bullet points on page 1 and all the definition cards only show a picture with no words or definitions printed. Do you have a more complete download to provide?

Hi Lisa I read the thread in the seller forum about you selling a book on Amazon. I have a novel (historical fiction) for kids that I wrote, that I want to sell. I have no idea about online publishing or how to go about selling on Amazon. I'd love to see the link to your book on Amazon! Is there any link I can go to where I can read about publishing on Amazon. Someone told me the novel has to be a certain number of pages too.
I appreciate any help you can give me!
Thanks so much!

In one of your sample poems, I think that the grammer is incorrect. Should it be "My bones are the land" instead of "My bones is the land"?
I think this is such a cute project. Thank you for sharing!

If you try again and still have problems, please contact TPT to see if it's something on their end.
