Cute activities, and the chapter questions are great for reflecting after reading. I appreciate the answer keys and vocabulary activities. However, this is a great resource for teaching, but I would not rely strictly on these lessons and worksheets for teaching the novel.

I am sorry that this wasn't what you were looking for and I wish you could have given me some constructive feedback that explained what the problem was for you. The product preview shows every part of the product so I am not sure why you didn't realize it wasn't what you needed before you purchased. Your feedback was left less than 10 minutes after making your purchase. Hopefully after you've had time to actually look the product over and use it you will feel differently.

Thanks for the comp. questions. Perfect for my literature circles. One suggestion--maybe a few less lines for responses on each question so fewer pages would need to be copied.

Great resource. Having a comprehension quiz at the end of the book would be helpful. Thank you for all your hard work in creating this unit!
May 7, 2013
The Teaching Bank (TpT Seller)
Thank you for your feedback. There are 3 versions of comprehension quizzes included for use at the end of the book. Page 51-52 of the packet is the short answer comprehension quiz. Page 53 is the multipel choice version of the comprehension quiz. Page 54 is the Writing Assessment for end of book comprehension assessment. If for some reason the unit you downloaded did not contain these assessments please re-download from your account at no additional cost so that you have the complete unit.

Brian LeCompte (TpT Seller)
I too was somewhat disappointed. I could not find any specific lessons that aligned with the standards as mentioned in the lesson outlines, only the standards and questions. The questions were useful, and I especially liked the vocabulary bookmark, a strategy I plan to use with more novels. But I like more authentic things than crossword puzzles.
May 7, 2013
The Teaching Bank (TpT Seller)
Thank you for your feedback. I am so glad that you found the questions and vocabulary bookmark s helpful. As for CCSS alignment if you look at pages 46-54 of the product you will see the specific Common Core Standard listed and directly underneath (in blue) is the activity from the unit that aligns to that specific standard. For example:(taken from page 48 of the packet)
Grade 4:
ELA: Language:
Conventions of Standard English:
SL.4.1: Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English grammar and usage when
writing or speaking.
√ Daily Discussion Activities
√ Comprehension Questions
√ After the Book Writing Activity
All the CCSS alignment, as well as examples of all the types of activities included are shown in the free download preview.

Hi,
This sounds like a download issue or an issue with your printer. I haven't added anything like that to the file so it isn't coming from me. First, make sure you are opening the file with the most up to date version of Adobe Acrobat Reader. You can download this for free from adobe.com. Sometimes computers will default opening files in Preview instead of Acrobat Reader and that can cause viewing/printing issues. There is some information in the FAQ here on TpT regarding viewing/printing issues:
https://support.teacherspayteachers.com/General-Technical-FAQ-c15.html
If that doesn't solve the issue then please try re-downloading the file. It is possible that the file was corrupted between the TpT site and your computer while you were downloading.
If none of that works please contact the TpT support at the "contact us" link at the bottom of every page. They should be able to troubleshoot what the issue is between their site and your computer/printer.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for your purchase! :)

katphoto re: Stuart Little Novel Unit ~ Common Core Aligned!
The Stuart Little unit that I bought had two typos on one of the writing prompts. (chapter 13...I think...) Since I can't edit the unit, I would like to have it corrected and given the updated copy for next year. (It's too late for this year.) Thanks. I'll leave feedback for this seller have the mistake has been corrected.

Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention. Both words are technically spelled right so they weren't picked up with a spell check. When proofreading sometimes your mind sees what is supposed to be there instead of what is actually there and I missed it. I apologize and I have fixed the error and uploaded the corrected version. Please go to your account and re-download the item so that you have the corrected version. Again I am so sorry for the error and I really appreciate you bringing it to my attention so I could fix it.

Hi,
I am sorry you are having some difficulties. First, make sure that you are opening and trying to print the purchased download and not the preview file. The preview file does have The Teaching Bank watermark, the purchased file does not.
Also, make sure that you are opening the purchased file in the most up to date version of Adobe Acrobat Reader. You can download this for free from adobe.com. Some computers will automatically default to preview instead of Adobe Acrobat Reader to open files so you may have to manually open in Acrobat.
If you are still having difficulties then please use the "contact us" link at the bottom of the page to contact the TpT Support team. Their techs will be able to troubleshoot why the download is not working properly from the site.
If all else fails please email me at the email address that is on the first page of the document. Let me know what your email address is so I can email a file directly to you.
Thank you for your purchase and I apologize for the technical inconvenience you are having.

carmela258 re: Long Vowel Literacy Center CD ~ ai, ea, ee, oa, oo ~ Common Core Aligned!
This literacy center looks great. Does it focus on how to divide the digraph vowels into syllables as well? For example: words like pati/o or medi/a
So I understand the students build the words and create the vowels together. Then they identify the two vowels is that correct?
For example: words like faith

Hi,
Thank you for your interest. This center is geared for the K-2 grade level. All the word combinations are 4 letter words with the focus being on the long vowel sound combinations ai, ea, ee, oa, and oo.
There is one letter per object (graham cracker, marshmallow, & chocolate). The student will use 2 graham crackers, 1 marshmallow, and 1 chocolate to create a word (s'more).
Please download the free preview. Within that preview you can see the answer keys on pages 4, 9, 13, 17, and 21 that show all the word combinations that are contained in the center along with directions, student sheets, and graphics.
Please email with any additional questions. Thank you for your interest! :)

I am sorry that you are having issues opening your download. I checked the file on the product and it downloads and opens fine for me. There must be an issue with the TpT site when you downloaded or a setting on your computer. Please contact TpT support so they can trouble shoot the issue for you.
Here is a link to the Help section for downloading issues at TpT:

When I go to print the document, it says it cannot print. It says no pages are selected to print after I say print all. Any idea if there are any settings I need to change in order to print? Thank you!

Hi,
Sorry you are having issues. First, make sure you are trying to print the purchased file and not the preview file. The preview file is password protected for printing and editing.
If that is not the issue then please use the "contact us" link at the bottom of the TpT page to open a ticket with the technical support department here at TpT. There are no restrictions on the purchased file that would prevent printing so I think it may be a technical issue on the TpT site. The support dept. will be able to help you with downloading issues, or possible printer setting issues, that may be causing the problem.
Sorry for any inconvenience you are having.

Hi! Do you have any idea why when I try to download the preview it will not open? I have the lastest version of adobe PDF, but it says the document can not be opened. It looks like what I have been looking for, I just want to make sure I can open it before I buy.
Thanks,

Hi Angela,
I do have the preview password protected so that it cannot be edited or printed but I don't know why it wouldn't open. It sounds like there may be a technical issue on TpT. I just downloaded it myself from the item page and it opened fine. Try trashing the copy you have and re-download. If that still doesn't work you may want to contact TpT support at the "contact us" button at the bottom of every page to see what is causing the technical issue between the TpT site and your computer.
If you want to email me at theteachingbank@cox.net and give me your email address I can email you a copy of the preview and bypass the TpT system altogether.
Thank you for your interest and sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Linda,
There could be a couple things causing this. First, make sure you are printing the purchased product and not the preview. The preview has The Teaching Bank watermark across the front that cannot be removed.
Second, try downloading the product again and make sure you are opening the file in the most current version of Adobe Acrobat Reader and not preview. Some computers default to preview so you have to change your default or open it manually. If you don't have Adobe Acrobat Reader you can download the most up to date version from adobe.com for free.
If neither of these options fix the issue then you will need to open a support ticket here at TpT (contact us at bottom of the screen) they will be able to help you with whatever download issue there is from their system.

Hi Lindsay,
Sorry about the inconvenience. I re-uploaded the product so try downloading again.
I know I have read about this type of thing and other printing issues happening due to the print settings on some computers or if you are opening in old version of Adobe Acrobat Reader. There is a watermark on the product for security that is invisible and placed behind the page so it shouldn't show up at all when you view or print.
If you are still having an issue after re-uploading make sure you have the most up to date version of Acrobat Reader. You can download this for free from adobe.com. You can also contact TpT support and they will help you fix print settings or check on tech issues from their site.
Please let me know if you are still having problems. You can email me at the address that is on the cover page of the product. I can send you the file via email to bypass any TpT tech issues.

Hi Melissa,
Thank you for your purchase! I try and make it clear in the listing for the Vocab packet that it is a duplicate of what is in the larger unit. I am sorry this wasn't clear for you. Since TpT handles all the payment aspects of the site you will need to contact them to initiate a refund for the Vocab. packet. I will send them an email asking them to grant the request when you make it. Hopefully that will expedite the refund for you. Sorry for the confusion!

Hi,
I don't think the standards alone will be helpful to you. Please take a look at the preview file. It shows the standards pages that are included. You can see that what I have done is to list the standard and then the accompanying activities from the unit that meet that standard. Without the unit activities you would have nothing listed. The standards don't address the book so much as it addresses the accompanying activities. Please email with any additional questions. Thank you for your intetest!

If that isn't the problem then please contact the TpT support (the link is at the bottom of every page). TpT handles all the website tech stuff and payment so once I upload the product and write my description it is out of my hands and I am not sure what advice to give. It may just be a tech issue that they are working on.

I tested the download and there is no watermark on the download I made. The only place I am seeing a watermark is on the preview file so make sure you are trying to view/print the purchased download and not the preview. Also make sure you are opening the file using Acrobat Reader and not "Preview". Make sure you have the most up to date Acrobat Reader which you can download for free at adobe.com.
Can you try just downloading the product again? Maybe it was just a bad download for some reason?
I am sorry for the inconvenience. I am really baffled and I don't know what else to suggest since I am not seeing it at all on the download I make from the TpT site. Hopefully the TpT support team will be able to sort this out quickly if my suggestions don't work.

Hi,
Please contact the Teachers Pay Teachers support team at "Contact Us" link the bottom of this page. They can help you with any technical issues that pertain to the download since it is downloaded from their site.
The purchased file does not have The Teaching Bank watermark across it. The preview file does so make sure you are printing the actual purchased file and not the preview option. Also make sure you are using the most up to date Adobe Acrobat Reader software to open and print the file. If you are using an old version or "preview" to open the file you will have printing problems. Also check your printer settings to make sure there is not anything odd there. You can contact me at the email address that is on the front page of the file with any additional questions. I will be happy to help you get this resolved ASAP but I think this might be a download issue that can only be fixed by the TpT Tech people.

Should be all available by tomorrow night (9/13) or Friday (9/14).

jrgrabert re: Multiplication Puzzle for Factor 12~ Common Core Aligned!
I have purchased all the multiplication puzzles, my students love them! Could you PLEASE make division puzzles?! I figured it couldn't hurt to ask :)

Hi Thank you so much for your request! I am so happy your students enjoy the puzzles so much. I created these puzzles about 2 years ago and until just the last month I had very little interest so I never expanded. I had originally planned on making some division puzzles. With the new interest and you taking the time to contact me I will put it on my to-do list! :) Please follow my store here on TpT and/or my Facebook page and I will post when I add the division puzzles so you can return! Thank you so much for taking the time to contact me! :)

Nicole Ebert (TpT Seller) re: Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing Novel Unit ~ Common Core Standards
I bought the Tales of a Fourth Grade Unit a couple months ago. I went to print some things today and am getting a large TEACHING BANK through the middle of the page. I haven't tried to print everything, but am getting it on the Venn Diagram of Peter and Fudge and the vocabulary page. Can you please fix this and upload again? Thank you!

Hi Nicole,
I am not sure what would be causing that. I tested the download and there were no watermarks. I uploaded the file again anyway so try downloading again and see if there is an issue. Make sure you are printing the purchased copy (not sample) that is opened through Adobe Reader (not preview).
If that doesn't help then I think it may be a tech issue with the TpT site. Please contact customer support through the "Contact Us" button at the bottom of this page. They will be able to fix whatever it is on the website that is causing this.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

Nicole Goodfellow (TpT Seller) re: Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing Novel Unit ~ Common Core Standards
Does this unit align each lesson with the Common Core Standards, or just a general alignment for the unit?

The Teaching Bank (TpT Seller)
Hi,
Thank you for your interest. Please download the sample file and you can see the entire section for the Common Core Standards alignment. I have organized it by grade level (3-5). Within that grade level I Iist the specific standard and under that I list all the activities within the unit that align to that specific standard. I do this for the reading, writing, speaking/listening, and language portion of the standards.
Please email with any additional questions. Thank you for your interest! :)

Anna Colley (TpT Seller) re: The Night of the Twisters Comprehension Question Packet
Hi to our friends at The Teaching Bank!
I am the book review editor for the Tchr2Tchr collaborative blog. I wanted to invite you to be a guest reviewer and write a book review for us. You could review Night of the Twisters and link your comprehension packet at the bottom of the review. Book reviews can be short; the minimum is 200 words, so a paragraph or two. We would also link your store and your blog (if you have one) to the review. It's great exposure!
If you're interested you can find all of the details here:
http://tchr2tchr.blogspot.com/p/collaborate.html
Thanks for considering collaborating with us!

achamnes re: How to Eat Fried Worms Novel Unit ~ Common Core Aligned!
I just purchased your novel study How to Eat Fried Worms. Everytime I print a page for the student to use, (vocabulary Book Mark) I get the Teaching Bank across the middle of the page. This does not show on my computer only when I print. Can you please help!
Thanks,
Allison Chamness

Hi Allison, I am not sure what the problem is. Could you please email me at theteachingbank@cox.net so that I can get your email address. This way I can figure out what is wrong with the file and email you a new copy. Sorry about the inconvenience!

ETA:
Allison I contacted Sally with the TpT Support Team and she responded as follows:
"Can you please tell her to contact us? It's easier to help if we can
communicate with them directly."
Please click the "contact us" at the bottom of this page and open a new ticket. Choose the "support" option from the drop down menu.
I have tested the download from both my computer's file and the TpT file I cannot get a watermark to show up on that page while viewing or printing so I am totally perplexed! Make sure you are opening the purchased file and not the sample file. The sample will contain a watermark. Do you have the most up to date version of Adobe Acrobat Reader? If not, that may be the problem. You can download the newest version for free at adobe.com. Thanks!

Fearless 5th Grade (TpT Seller)
Is there any way you could make a City of Ember novel study packet? I've purchased several of your units, and they are great! The City of Ember series is one of my favorite to read with my 5th graders!

The Teaching Bank (TpT Seller)
Thank you for your kind words and thank you for the request! I do not have a unit for that book/series at this time but will certainly look into it as I prepare to create new units. Right now I am working to update all of my 76 units and I have about 20 left to do so that will fill my summer. Please follow my Facebook page or here at TpT and you will get emails as I add new units/products.
