I can not get this file to download and I am so disappointed as I really want to use it. It will only copy the first couple pages and that is it.
This is not a spiral review. The weekly content has standards that have not yet been covered. Students can't have homework on things that they haven't learned yet.
<p>This resource is not designed around a particular scope and sequence since many teachers follow different timelines.</p><p>Since Daily Spiral Reviews cover all standards, students are exposed to concepts they may not have had formal instruction on.

I don't worry too much if there haven't been formal lessons on a particular concept; I treat those items more as a preview.

There is a problem with this resource. I purchased the digital version. However, there is no link for me to click on that gives me access to the documents virtually. I'm reaching out to the seller, please provide some guidance or refund me if possible? Thank you so much.
It was a good resource, but the inability to make any edits in the .PDF made sharing it digitally with the class nearly impossible. Very disappointed with this aspect. Good resource but this is a glaring issue.
The content was too hard for third grade. There needs to be a build in content and foundation. The skills were way over most of my students heads.
Also this is a rip off to not include the answer key with the questions. Why are you having people buy two separate things.

does this pull directly from the week's questions or are they new questions?
Hello! I can no longer use the pens on my Smartboard with this product. It says the editor has turned off commenting. I have other products of yours that also will not let me write on them anymore, like the 8th Grade Daily Language bell ringer. Can you resend the files with commenting allowed so that we can write on them? Thank you!
Hmmm. That's odd since I have never changed the PDF permissions. I tried to reset the permissions to explicitly allow for commenting. Please let me know if this doesn't resolve the issue.
Is there an answer key provided for these?
Do you have the Google form version of the 8th grade weekly language assessments?
Is there a bundle with this and the spiral review?
Unfortunately, TpT doesn't have a function that allows us to easily create custom bundles in a way that ensures customers always have the latest version of their resources, so we don't offer this option on TpT. We do have a Build Your Own Bundle option on our off-site store that you can check out here: https://teacherthrive.com/byob/
The preview shows your 6th Grade assessment. Do you have a preview of your 8th grade assessment? Thanks!
We're sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you so much for pointing this out! We have fixed the preview to reflect the 8th Grade version.
Doing this as a weekly assessment each Friday, how much time should you give students to complete this in class? Would 20 minutes be too much time?
Hello! The first few weeks can take a bit of time since you are walking students through the different problems. However, they catch on very quickly, and then it should only take about 10 minutes.
Does this packet include the answers like the Daily Language review?
Hello! Yes, answer keys are included.
I would pay good money for an 8th grade Google Classroom ready version!
