Create opportunities by having resources available in each center of PreK

[@DeniseAquino-m8u]

I'm already a member but don't have the k-2 library, is this an additional cost? It is not on my dashboard now.

Focus on skills while not becoming overwhelmed with the enormity of skills required for writing proficiently!

[@dinazapata4545]

I like these graphic organizers but many of my students struggle when the paper they write on doesn’t have lines - many have OT issues or dyslexia, etc. Is there a version with lines?

[@Bombdozer-str]

I often print a copy and add lines manually to make copies. Or, you may be able to make a PDF version or screenshot and add it into Canva to add lines. Personally, a ruler and a pencil or pen make it easy. Then just mark it with a highlighter on the top so you know that is the original. Hope that helps!

[@dinazapata4545]

@@Bombdozer-str I think it’s a pain to have to make lines, which I do. My point is that having student facing materials with lines should be an option from the manufacturers of these products since we all know that teachers have to differentiate materials and curriculum for different learners’ needs. It’s a very simple thing for them to do. Special education teachers already do enough for our students. I should not also have to make lines on their materials when they can add lined student facing materials to their offerings.

@AprilSmith (Kersey Rodriguez here) I don't know what grade levels I will be teaching yet and we may be using a P.O., but either way I will be using this curriculum this year. I have sent information to my admin, including the ESSA documentation and Georgia standards correlations for the new ELA standards along with research documentation, so I am just waiting for our pre-planning week until I know for sure(July 24th-31st). However, we are adopting a new reading program for gen ed and a new phonics program for SPED 3-5, so I doubt they'll adopt this new writing curriculum, but I will be using it regardless. Can I email you later on and still get the reading bonuses even though I can't order today? Thank you!
