I love this resource, but I have noticed a couple of typos. Can I get a correction? It's just a couple of minor things. I'll list what I have found (not worried about anything but what I see in what I would give to kiddos):
On the reference cards:
BIG IDEAS: Should over-arching be in its own bullet or should it be overarching theories?
MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES: Describe how gender...etc...might AFFECTS the story.
Thank you, Amy!!! I will correct these tonight!
I am loving this! I think this is exactly what my homeschool kiddos need to get deeper into their reading. Where do you buy all those lovely colors of paper?
Hello! I used Astrobright papers. You can get them at any office supply, amazon, or target:-).
Hello, I saw the depth and complexity foldables that go with this. Are they included in this package or are they in a different product?
Hi April. That is a resource that I need to reformat. It is not currently listed in my store.
Would this work for non-fiction books, as well as novels?
Hi Caitlin! This will only for work pieces of fiction. Thank you for asking.
Hello I teach french immersion and this would be a great resource. Have you thought about an editable version for french/Spanish?
Hello. I made this in Illustrator and am unable to provide an editable version. Thank you for your interest.
I really like your lap books and reading response booklets. Do you use both resources for one novel, or choose one per novel?
Hello! I would recommend using each resource with a different book, since they can take a bit of time to complete. There also might be some redundancy if you use the same novel for both projects. Let me know if you have any other questions.
I would like to order the Depth & Complexity Literary Response packet, but I'm not sure if this is the one written in print. My students cannot read cursive. I see you said you added print, but I don't see an example in the preview. Can you help me? Thanks. fredericsl@vvsd.org
Hello! There is a print version included. I can add an example page in the preview in a day or so. The print version uses the font Primary Penmanship by Kimberly Geswein. You can check it out here.

I used the version without the lines.
Would you consider making a poster set for the Depth and Complexity pieces-- I love this and want to continue using the language with the class!!
Thanks for your interest. A poster set is available at jtayloreducation.com. and I don't want to make anything that directly competes with any of the resources available there. Check the ones out there. The info on the back of those posters is invaluable!
