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!
Ofelia Hamada says
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.
Marta says
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.
Hussein says
Thank you ANN8 for the service you are providing with to the needy.
Very rare are those who help others today.
Cyndee says
Thank you so much. I am the great-grandmother of a four year old starting to school this September. I am trying to help his mother and grandmother prepare him for kindergarten. He attends daycare three times a week. That has been great however, we want to get him adjusted to the seriousness of regular school. I can’t afford the books etc. at this time but what you have placed on your website is awesome. God bless you and thank you.
Chris Lawson says
I am a retired school teacher (35 yr in elementary schools) who now volunteers teaching gardening skills with adults and children. May I use your printables for displays when doing volunteer programs with schools and the public. All of my programs are open to everyone and there is never a fee. I always give credit to the original owner of the information. Thank you for sharing your passion. I also find excellent things on Teachers Pay Teachers. I will check you out there too!

buenas noches, soy mama de 2 niños de edad preescolar y me gustaria saber , ya que yo e usado algunos imprimibles de su pagina para educar a mis hijos y reforsar sus conocimientos, y pues me e tomado la molestia de crear una carpeta didactica plastificada adaptada para mis niños y hay amigos que quieren que les haga lo mismo y pues ellos lo quieren comprar, y pues nose si eso esta permitido con su imprimibles. me gustaria saber porque no me gustaria faltar a sus normas, gracias
Anna G says
It is against the law to sell them. Thank you for not doing that!!
