Marilyn Kirkley says
Can this information be shared with a large group of teachers? The pictures and information about the various stages of writing is so relevant and realistic that it will definitely give the teachers great information about the stages of writing and help them compare their students
writing to the information that you have shared.
Anna Geiger says
Marilyn, you are more than welcome to print and photocopy any blog posts to share with teachers. In fact, I’d love if you would! You should see a green “print” button at the bottom of the post. The only thing I ask you not do is to e-mail my printable files to people or photocopy them for teachers without them coming to the blog to get them themselves (as I support this blog by the income I receive through pageviews). Other bloggers are also not permitted to copy and paste my content onto their own blogs. I hope all of that makes sense!

Hi, My name is Ofelia Hamada and I purchased two items from your store this morning but I cant find the site to download them. I used my phone during the transaction, but I would like to download them into my computer instead. Can you direct me to the place where I can access my purchases?
Thanks,
Ofelia

Helen Heynike says
Hi Anna
Thank you so much for all the super stuff I have found on your site. It’s so exciting. I am a foundation Phase teacher and my passion is Grade 1. Unfortunately as I am 65yrs old they retired me from teaching so I have been doing afternoon remedial lessons.
There are many children in our surrounding area that cannot get into Grade 1 in the local schools so at our church we have felt God leading us to start a school. Unfortunately this will not be in 2019 but in 2020 due to all the registration requirements.
You have blessed me abundantly with your lovely activities etc.Thank you so much. Kind regards Helen Heynike
Anna G says
Hi Helen! What an exciting adventure your church is beginning! I hope you find many helpful resources.

I am unable to get the free phonics readers. I get a message that the materials will be in by
inbox. but nothing happens. I use safari, and AOL email. Do I need to change something.
Anna G says
Aol is not a reliable email system, unfortunately, and often sends things to spam or doesn’t accept them. I would try a gmail or yahoo email address.
