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. Unfamiliar content presents a great opportunity for you to build background knowledge and assess where your students are before you even teach a specific lesson.</p><p>The best way to use this spiral reveiw is to begin with whole-group lessons where you model and discuss each activity. 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. After a few weeks, the students really start grasping the format, and you can begin to transfer the workload to them. Eventually, when the students work independently on the review, you will spend time correcting and discussing their work in class. </p><p>As mentioned above, students will encounter concepts they are unfamiliar with. This is a GOOD thing, I promise! We don't always have the answers or know the procedures to solve problems. It's beneficial to expose students to "unknowns"; they become less sensitive to the uncomfortable feeling of "not knowing" and are less likely to panic. </p><p>However, you can always use the editable version (open in PowerPoint) to remove/change any review items you like.</p>
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.

Answer key included?
Could this be assembled in a duotang?
Absolutely! You might want to do a test run with the hole punches before you do a mass print, but I don't think you'll have any trouble.
Do you, or any teachers who have used this have an exemplar you could share? I think that would be a HUGE help to my students as we work through this!
Unfortunately, we do not. However, there are detailed teaching notes and tips included.
I love this resource, and I would love to make pages into edibale PFDs (for hybrid teaching), but the document is secure. Is there anyway I could have access so I can make these into edible documents for students at home? Thank you so much!
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide an editable version of this resource because it was created using Adobe Illustrator and InDesign. Also, we are prohibited from providing editable versions of resources that contain commercial graphics.
Where are the pages to print?
Hi Kayla, The student pages begin on page 34 of the pdf.
Hi!
I was wondering whether there was an A4 version of this booklet. I have purchased this already but would love to be able to utilise the tabs.
Regards,
Esther
Hi Esther! It only comes in 8.5x11, unfortunately.
Good evening,
Would you happen to have this resource in a digital format that could be used/shared through Google and Google classroom? We are 1:1 and would love to use this resource digitally.
Hello! Unfortunately, I don’t have a digital version at this time.
On page 12 of the PDF, you used "right" when I think you meant "write". You might want to fix that.
Thank you, Theresa! I just corrected the error. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know.
Hi,
I teach secondary world language, and would love to use some of your materials, especially this Critical Thinking Booklet because of it's multi level application. I love the format, but would need to translate the doc into Spanish, so I am wondering if it is editable? If not, I will cross my fingers that someday you can offer these wonderful resources in other languages! Thanks for your time? Celeste
Hi Celeste! Unfortunately, I do not have an editable version. I would like to offer Spanish versions someday and hope to find a reliable translator to do this. Thank you for your interest.
I would love to have both the depth and complexity task cards and response booklet for general non fiction articles and books. Please create these products, I'm sure they will be a success!
Hello! Thank you so much for the suggestion. I will definitely keep it in mind for a future projects.
