I was disappointed with this resource as it did not meet my expectations. For instance, it lacked coverage of collective nouns, which I was hoping to find. The content felt repetitive, with the same assessment structure (identify the parts of speech in 10 short sentences) that left the children bored and disengaged. Additionally, it was lacking in explicit instructions. Overall, the material was incomplete and did not justify the cost, especially considering the unfavourable exchange rate with the Australian dollar. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this bundle given its high price and limited value.
<p>Hello, Angie. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. You are correct; this resource does not cover collective nouns as this is not a third-grade standard in the US. I make every effort to communicate exactly what topics are included (which are listed in the description). I have also included detailed thumbnails and preview files for each unit in this bundle to help teachers determine if this resource will be a good fit for them. </p>
The students have been so much more engaged when I have been using this resource. It is easy and simple to do!
The links didn't work. I feel like I wasted my money.
It's not user friendly. I can't seem to open the pdf files to even use. I'm very frustrated.
I was unable to use this product. First, I wasn’t able to print it because it wasn’t made to fit the whole page. The bundle was all the same unavailable to print. Please send me another copy or refund my money. Thank you

How do you get the answers
Hi,
Is there an answer key with this resource? Thank you.
Thanks for reaching out! The questions are designed to be answered in multiple and even conflicting ways, so providing suggested answers would take a lot of time and nearly triple the price.
Hello,
Upon purchasing, would I be able to have access to this in Word or Docs so that students can type directly on document? Thank you for your time.
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out. 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.
Does it come with answers?
Due to the nature of this resource and its questions, there is not an answer key included.
I have a student doing an independent study on this novel; what kind of assessments are included. Since he'll be reading it alone, I need to confirm that he's read and understood the text.
Thank you!
Hello! These are graphic organizers (one for each chapter). They can be used as an assessment. You can download the preview to see if the format would fit your needs. Thank you for your interest b
I was wondering if these have been updated with a suggested answer key?
Hello! No I won't be adding suggested answers to these. The questions are designed to be answered in multiple and even conflicting ways, so providing suggested answers would take a lot of time and nearly triple the price.
I purchased the Charlotte Doyle Depth and Complexity Companion. I'm interested in making "Study guide" cards out of the questions. May I have or purchase a set of questions typed out without the template? Love Love Love the packet!
Thank you! The only format I have this in is with the graphic organizer. I didn't type these out first and then place them in the graphic organizer, if that's what you're asking.
