kaxelson re: A Poem For All Seasons and Poetry Activities with Graphic Organizers
Hi Mark,
I purchased the poems and organizers and downloaded them to my computer, but they will not print. I can view everything in Adobe, but only the first nine pages of the organizers will print and only the first 30 pages of the poems print. I have tried to redownload the files, but they still only partially print. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi. I am sorry that you are having problems printing the pages. This product has been purchased over 40 times and this problem has not come up before. I do not know why all of the pages are not printing. I am able to print them from my original here at home. If the problem continues, please let me know and I can send it to you through email.

Hello Mr. Lyons,
Before purchasing, just wondering if this set includes some of my team's specific SE concerns in 3rd grade:
*Media (esp. using tabs)
*Summary (esp. with different genres)
*Text Features (utilization of)
*Drawing Conclusions
*Poetry
*Noting Facts and Details in text
And if course, Inferencing falls across all of these topics.
Will this set (or a different set) aide us with test prep in these areas?
Thanks,

I hope this helps. Thanks.

Hi Mark I am interested in your Reading Lessons Reading Common Core Plus, Foundational Skills. Can you tell me if this is a combination of some of your other packets. I have kindergarten vocabulary, print awareness, and phonological awareness in my cart. I want to make sure and not duplicate something.

Mark Lyons (TpT Seller)
Hi. Thank you for your inquiry. The Kindergarten mini lesson products that say Common Core in the title are for the common core standards. I have not done one yet for just vocabulary. The vocabulary product I have listed is not specifically for common core. The Common Core Foundational Skills product for kindergarten has the print concepts, phonological awareness, and phonics and word recognition included, so if you already have the separate common core print awareness and phonological awareness in your cart, you would be duplicating if you also bought the Foundational Skills product. I hope this answers your question. Thanks.

Are the the graphic organizers thinking maps? For example, a double bubble map to compare and contrast. Do you include the nonfiction passages?
February 24, 2013
Mark Lyons (TpT Seller)
Hi. Thank you for your question. The passages are not included. The graphic organizers are to be used with the passages that you provide your students. I don't think they are considered thinking maps. They are graphic organizers. You can download the preview and look at the table of contents to see what graphic organizers are included in the product. You can download several examples of the graphic organizers from the preview and see what they look like as well. Thank you.

Hi. Thank you for your question. I do not have a set that is aligned with the TEKS for STAAR for TeachersPayTeachers.

matlee re: Oral Reading Fluency: Practice and Progress Monitoring - Grade 2
I am not sure if I have the capability to download this file on my computer. Can I get some guidance about that?
February 21, 2013
Mark Lyons (TpT Seller)
Hi. This product is in a zipfile. See if these help you. If you're using Windows XP, then your operating system has built-in support for Zip files. They are described as "Compressed (zipped) folders." Just double-click on a Zip file and it will open in Explorer, just like a folder. Double-click on a file inside the compressed folder and you may be able to open that too (but really, Windows has extracted a copy of the file to another location and is opening that, as described above.) But if you right-click on items in a compressed (zipped) folder, you'll notice that the same options don't appear on the pop-up menu. This shows that it is not a real folder.
Or, Do one of the following:
To extract a single file or folder, double-click the compressed folder to open it. Then, drag the file or folder from the compressed folder to a new location.
To extract the entire contents of the compressed folder, right-click the folder, click Extract All, and then follow the instructions.
Thanks.

Hi. Thank you for your question. The Read Aloud - Florida - Basic - Kindergarten does not go with the Treasures Series in Florida.

Do you have any grammar products for 5th grade?
January 18, 2013
Mark Lyons (TpT Seller)
Hi. Thank you for your question. The closest thing that I have to a fifth grade grammar product is "Writing - Revising and Editing". It has short passages with errors in the passages that need to be corrected. Multiple choice questions follow each passage and ask students to decide what needs to be corrected or revised. Take a look at it. Download the preview to see how it fits with what you need. It is written for fourth grade but could work for fifth as well. Thanks.

Aislinn (TpT Seller) re: Poetry Activities with 20 Ready-to-Use Graphic Organizers - K - 2
I'd like to get either this product or the 30 graphic organizers product for use in both a 2nd & a 3rd grade classroom. I teach at a school overseas where all the students are non-native English speakers and have had very little exposure to poetry. Which product do you think will be more appropriate for them? Is the 2-5 packet more geared towards the older end of that spectrum? Would 3rd grade ESL students still find the K-2 activities interesting & instructive?

Also, many of the passages have been changed to accommodate the new reading standards. I hope this helps.

The reading objectives are based on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills language arts objectives for grade 1. The passages are original passages that I have written. Thanks.

Out of the 30 passages at each grade level, one third are expository and two thirds are fiction. There are no poems.

Not specifically. I am from Texas and the mini reading warmups are based on the TAKS objectives, the state mandated assessment that has now become the STAAR (State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness).

Dear Deborah,
Thank you for your question. The Poetry Activities with 30 Ready-to-Use Graphic Organizers uses some of the poems that are also found in A Poem for All Seasons in introductory activities for some of the graphic organizers. The graphic organizers can be used with any poem. The A Poem for All Seasons book has just poems. The A Poem for All Seasons and Poetry Activities with Graphic Organizers combines A Poem for All Seasons and the Poetry Activities with 30 Ready-to-Use Graphic Organizers. I hope this answers your question. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance. Thank you.

Hi Mark-I LOVE the design of your warmups-excellent for daily review of skills or for homework. The length of each makes them very manageable. I was just wondering when you might have them available for STAAR based on what little we here in Texas know about the new test.
Thanks!

juju2 re: Mini Lessons - Phonological Awareness - Kindergarten
This doesn't seem to be phonological awareness which has to do with sounds and not print itself. I am curious how come you named this phonological awareness.
November 20, 2011
Mark Lyons (TpT Seller)
Hi. Thank you for your email. Yes, phonological awareness has to do with sounds. The phonological awareness mini lessons provide the teacher with phonological awareness activities that are presented orally to the students. For example, one of the lessons is about sentences. Sometimes words can make sentences and sometimes words do not make a sentence. The teacher says groups of words out loud for the students to listen and decide if they are sentences or not. Another example is with rhyming words. The teacher says two words that may rhyme or not. The students listen and determine if the words rhyme or not. The mini lessons provide the teacher with written lesson plans for orally presented lessons. Some of the lessons do also include the written words or sentences but they are not essential to the lesson. I hope this helps. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Mark

I'm sorry to be such a bother. Then do I have to buy the teacher lessons all separate? Are they necessary ? Do you have a package of all 9 sets of teacher lessons together or I need to buy them all separately? Thanks rrr
September 5, 2011
Mark Lyons (TpT Seller)
Hi! You are not a bother at all. Your questions help me make better products.
The sentence writing teacher lessons are mini lessons that introduce the students to sentence writing. There are 20 lessons in the product. These teacher lessons are not teacher lessons for the 9 sets of student sentence writing. The 9 sets of student sentence writing are separate practice writing exercises from the teacher sentence writing lessons. You do not need to purchase the teacher lessons to be able to use the student sentence writing lessons. I am sorry for the confusion. I hope this helps. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Mark

Hi! The teacher lessons product is separate from the All 9 Sets product. The All 9 Sets product is the student work. The teacher lessons product has lessons that the teacher conducts with students to help the students learn about sentence writing. Thanks.

Mark,
Your Beginning Reading: Family Homework product looks very worthwhile to me! When I downloaded the preview, I noticed what seems to be the next new page actually starting at the bottom of the previous page. I hope that makes sense... I wondered if this was just part of the download preview process, or if not, can it be fixed on the actual purchased product? Thanks, Cindy Cook

Dear Cindy,
Thank you for your noticing. I have fixed the preview so that the pages line up properly. The pages in the actual product should also be lined up properly. Thank you. I think the family homework for beginning reading helps involve the parents with the child's reading work at school. I am very glad that you believe it is worthwhile.
