I have begun purchasing some of your task cards for language arts. I just started browsing your math task cards, but I noticed that you don't have any task cards bundled into packages. Would you be willing to do this? Thanks!

Hi Christine,
I have actually been thinking of doing this for months and have been playing with different bundling options (I only want to bundle each set in one bundle so that people don't get duplicates). I will either bundle by topic or grade level. Not sure which yet. I will have some bundles available by next school year.

mrsredgate re: "Phrase Craze" Task Cards: 90 Lateral Thinking Puzzle Cards (Like Frame Games)
Hi, I bought and downloaded your 'phrase craze' cards today and there seems to be a few problems with a number of the cards - eg. #6 should be 'one in a million', but the card just has a number 1 on it, with a blurred purple box, the same with #7,10,16,22 and quite a few more. On others, there are complete words missing - without them, the puzzles don't make any sense. Could you please fix this??
May 17, 2013
Rachel Lynette (TpT Seller)
Try downloading the most recent version of Adobe Reader. That usually does the trick for this kind of issue. If that does not work, downloading to a different computer may. The cards are fine, so there is nothing I can do on my end. If neither solution works, contact me again so we can work out a refund.

Everything you purchase on TpT is always available for you to download anytime you want, as many times as you want. So all you need to do is go to you My Purchases page from your school computer and download it from there.

I was scoping out your Figurative Language Package, and you may want to check out your simile card. It has this sentence - Maria was a graceful as a swan. I believe you meant - Maria was as graceful as a swan.
Thank you for using the GIFT God gave you because I am just one of your BIGGEST fans!!

Hey Rachel:
Played these with my third graders last week and they did SO good. One thing - my G/T kid noticed that the first number (80,000,000) on Card #24 is missing a zero. I wanted to let you know because I know that you are super careful about that stuff and would want to fix it. Thanks for all the great resources. I think I have almost EVERY set you have made :-/

Well, I certainly could. I will put it on my list along with your name. I always give the set free to the person who gave me the ideas as a small thank you. If I forget to track you down when you see them pop up, please be sure and contact me.
It could be a awhile though...we are in the midst of a move, so things are a bit chaotic and I am not doing much TpT at the moment! But in time for next school year for sure!

Hi Rachel!
I have been looking at several of your projects and have downloaded many of them, THANK YOU! They are awesome and I can't wait to use them in the classroom.
I am currently working in a temp position as a fourth grade teacher and was wondering about one of your products. I was wondering what the Brain Teasers activity looks like? Would it be possible for you to send me one example of them before I purchase? I could not get a good idea of what the product was in the preview.
THANK YOU for your products!

Hi Dianne,
The Brain Teasers are actually one of my earlier products and to be honest, it is not as polished as my more recent products. However, the problems themselves are solid. Basically, the 56 problems are in two formats. They are laid out in a worksheet form with several problems on the page like the first page in the free preview and then they are all in half-page card format like the second page. I am not sure that sending you a page would do much good because it would just be the same one that is in the preview. I am glad you like my products and I really do appreciate your business!

Hi Rachel,
I sure appreciate all the work you're doing and sharing on this website. I like these grs.1-4 class rules task cards. Could you please make a higher level set? I teach middle school and the activity is perfect to get them talking to each other appropriately, but your current level is too low for me. There are lots of examples of middle/high school rules online. Could you also make something that includes the Boys Town Social Skills? Or Larry Bell's Power Words for testing? Sharing the royalties is an option, too... ;-D

That is a stunning idea. I will do it for sure, but not in time for the sale, unfortunately. My schedule is jammed for the next few weeks, but definitely in time for the new school year. Sorry, won't share the royalties, but I do have a tradition of giving the person who gave me the idea the product for free as a small thank you. I will try to track you down, but if I can't find you, please be sure and remind me that you thought of the idea and I will send a set your way. Thanks so much!!

I am working on putting one of my larger units on TpT. I use some of your curriculum and I want to provide the necessary credit and access to your materials. Beyond simply providing your name and the curriculum I purchased from you, how would you like me to link the information? Note: I am not including your materials in my curriculum, rather I am referencing it, so that teachers who want my unit can obtain additional support materials from other TpT contributors.

Hi Jaime,
Thanks for the clarification...I was a little worried for a minute there. If you can just link my name and store: http://www.rachel-lynette.com, that would be great. If you are referencing a specific product please link to the product page. If you want to do more than that...it is up to you. Since I haven't seen your product, I don't know what would make the most sense. You are welcome to pick up an images from the preview if you would like.
Thanks for asking!

I was so excited last night when I down-loaded this powerpoint and planned on using it today with my class. I was able to open it last night, but today I haven't been able to get it to load. Do you have any tips? Luckily, I had also bought the cards and was able to use them on the Smartboard. We used mini whiteboards to respond with answer choices. My class loved it.

On the Perimeter Task cards with optional Area, the answer key to the area questions is incorrect. #3 should be 54, #5 should be 37, #15 should be 79, #17 should be 85. The answers on these questions are based on you just multiplying the numbers that are actually on the cards, but you have to break the shapes apart and refigure the lengths of the sides. The kids have to understand that opposite sides are equal and apply that to how the different shapes combine to be that total length. Is it possible to get a new answer key that is correct made?
May 1, 2013
Rachel Lynette (TpT Seller)
Thanks for letting me know about these errors! I checked the answers and agree with you about the first three and have made the corrections to the answer key. However, I still get my original answer for #17, so I did not change that one.
Thanks again!

This issue comes up with these cards every so often. Try this:
It looks like it might have to do with the font I used for the banners. Try downloading and installing the Tatania font. It is free. I got it from this site:

If that doesn't work, please write again so we can get this straightened out!

Any advice for a newbie at creating task cards?

Any advice for a newbie at creating task cards?

I use Microsoft Word and to be honest, it took me forever to create my template to get them to format correctly. It is much easier to format if you do not want a strip along the bottom (which I do for my copyright information). Most sellers who make Task Cards use PowerPoint. It is pretty easy to split the slide into four equal parts.

Would you be able to create a 2nd grade set of task cards for two step addition and subtraction problems?

Sure...that's a great idea, but we are moving in two weeks and I have seriously got to start packing! So, I am not sure when I will get to them. Hopefully soon!

What program do you use to create things like this? I am not necessarily interested in this particular file, but in general. I want to make my classroom rules look this cute!! :) Thank you :)

Hi! I purchased your Idiom Task Cards: 3 Set Bundle. I unzipped the file. When I go to print the cards, the idiom in the scroll section appears as black lines. I am able to read every other part of the card. Please let me know what I need to do to make them readable.
Thank you
Thank you

This issue comes up with these cards every so often. Try this:
It looks like it might have to do with the font I used for the banners. Try downloading and installing the Tatania font. It is free. I got it from this site:
http://www.1001freefonts.com/Titania.php
Also, make sure you have the most recent version of Adobe Reader.
If that doesn't work, please write again so we can get this straightened out!

Hi,
When I use this it seems I can't save the file, so I need to use it directly from the TPT "my purchases" page. Is that correct? Also, the animations in the power point were really slow- any pointers for speeding things up? Lastly, I got to about slide 24 -25 and the first question kept repeating. Is that how I know I am at the end?

Oh dear, something is really messed up with this product. I was messing with it this morning and I think I did something very wrong. I have deactivated it for now and will get it figured out first thing tomorrow morning. Try checking back around noon Pacific time. After I fix it, if you are still having issues, drop me a note at reallyrachel@gmail.com and we'll see if we can get everything working right for you. Thanks so much for letting me know!!
Update: New file added. This one should be fine as far as the last slides are concerned. I am not sure about the saving thing or why it would run slowly. If you are till having issues after downloading this version, send me an email so we can get it worked out.

Hi Rachel - Nice freebie. The title has 14, but the description says 15 printables. Arlene

Yeah, I know. I added an extra one during a revision, but if I change the title the link URL changes and it has been linked all over the place. So I opted to leave the title as is.

Hi Rachel,
I love your task cards and am using several of them with my 4th graders to prepare for the MSP. I accidentially purchased a duplicate of the inference cards in addition to the 5-pack inference bundle- I meant to buy the compare/contrast cards with the apple and orange clipart:-( Please contact me if there is a way to swap out that purchase.
Thank you!

I don't have time to go through all the questions, so this may have been addressed, but I just noticed that on the Perimeter task cards, the two Challenge cards at the end have the word Pertimeter instead of Perimeter. Just thought I'd let you know. Thanks for all the task cards! I've purchased several sets in the last few weeks and they've been great for our state testing practice! SCOOT is awesome!

Alethia Leong (TpT Seller) re: Factor Find Task Cards: 32 Multiple Choice Cards, CCS 4.OA.4
Hello Rachel,
I am a teacher currently teaching Primary 5 (Equivalent to Grade 5) in Singapore. I love your task cards and would love to use these Factor Find Task cards in my classroom. However, as we have not covered prime numbers in our syllabus by this level, I was wondering if there was any way that Option D could be changed to something like "None of the above"? It would be greatly appreciated if you could help me to do so, but I understand that you are a busy woman. As such any advice and suggestions are most welcome!
By the way, thank you for your time-saving task cards, I absolutely adore them! :)

Hi Alethia,
I would love to help you out...but I just dont' have time to change a whole set of cards for one buyer. One thing you could do is type out a little strip that says "None of the Above" and glue it to each card before you copy them. I used the Century Gothic font, size 14 for the answers. It is a little labor intensive, but if you are going to use them for years, it could be worth it.

csysyn re: Summarize It! Task Cards: 24 Nonfiction Paragraph Cards
Hi, Rachel,
I purchased your set of Main Idea /Task Cards and got them set up to use. When I read them, I realized the paragraphs are exactly the same as another main idea set I had purchased from the seller, Melissa Byrne "What's the Main idea?" It only has one level and some of the cards are in a slightly different order, but they're basically the same-I would like to get some more sets from you as I like the format you have set up, but I was concerned that the reading selections would be too similar- csysyn

Wow! Thank you for telling me about this. This seller has copied my work as my cards were the first Main Idea card to be posted - over a year ago! You should get your money back for her set. I tried to find this seller on TpT and could not. Is she using a different store name? I would love it if you could give me the link to her copied Main Idea product.

Hi, Rachel:
I just wanted to follow up on your comment on my page yesterday. I replied, but I failed to mention a few things. First, I made the changes! Secondly, (and more importantly) THANK YOU for even considering featuring my freebie to your followers. Being that you are a top seller, and because there are so many freebies out there, I appreciated that fact that you found my reading log helpful and were willing to share! -Shey

race re: BOOM! A Game to Play with Task Cards: FREE!
Sorry! Everyone else seems to understand, but I'm unsure about this part: "If you pull a card from the Boom Bin you must discard all your cards ..." Isn't everyone taking turns pulling from the bin?
April 16, 2013
Rachel Lynette (TpT Seller)
Hmmm, I wonder if I should have been more clear in the directions. I will take a second look at them.
So, when I player answers correctly, he or she gets to keep the card. So, when a player draws a BOOM card from the bin, she has to discard all the cards she has collected. Does that make sense?

Would it be possible to make posters for Main Idea, Cause & Effect, and Context Clues like the ones that come with many of your task card sets. You also sell them seperately but those three do not have one. That would be awesome. I have them all on a BB for Reading Objectives.

That is a super idea. I will put it on my list of things to do...but it may be awhile. It is a big list, and we are moving next month!

Dear Rachel,
I downloaded 5 of your ppts to use with my class and for some reason they are blocked for editing. I have special needs students and need to adjust the font color and when I click to open the ppt I get a security Alert notification. Is there anyway around this. I teach grade 3 which is the first year for our state test and I really wanted to use these ppts with my students. Your content is great - I just need to tweak a bit to meet accommodations. Can you advise?
the PPTs I purchased are Character Traits, drawing conclusions, Fact and Opinion, Informational Text question slides, and informational text paragraph slides.
Thank you for your help,
Kim M.

Hi Kim,
The PowerPoints are in Show format because there has been a rash of unethical sellers stealing content and selling it as their own. If you write me at reallyrachel@gmail.com we can see if we can work something out for your situation.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Most of my teaching experience is with gifted and talented students in grades 2-4, though I have worked with children of all ages in general education classrooms as well. A few years ago I stopped teaching in order to write nonfiction children's books full time. Gradually over the last couple of years, my career has switched from writing to creating teaching materials here on Teacher Pay Teacher. I love creating teaching products (most recently task cards) and feel just as passionate about my work now as I did when I was teaching. I also love knowing that my products help thousands of teachers and reach tens of thousands of students.
MY TEACHING STYLE
My goal is to create high-quality products that are easy to use and include some element or creative or critical thinking. Many of my products are also aligned to Common Core Standards.
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
I am currently a Top Ten seller on TpT, both for all time as well as in the weekly lists. I am the all time number one seller for grades 3-5. In addition, I have written over 100 nonfiction books for children for a variety of publishers as well as several teacher resource books.
