  1. The Teachable Classroom –

    These are great to pull for writing during our virtual days. Thanks for the resource!

  2. Tami N. –

    So helpful during distance learning!

  3. Jessica D. –

    Great resource for extra practice for my 2nd graders! THANK YOU!

  4. The Core Inspired Classroom –

    I loved this resource for my first graders!

    There is a push to have everything digital in my district, and I had to think outside the box for how to make that happen. Some people sent home journals for the kids to write in, but I think this is better. I love that they can type into the resource and that I can differentiate it before I assign it to the kids. I would absolutely use this resource if you’re considering a How-To unit for your distance learning kids.

Downloads

How do I access my downloads?

Right after you check out, your download links are on the order confirmation page, and your receipt email has the same links. Don’t see the email? Check your spam or promotions folder.

You can also grab your files anytime: log in and go to My Account > Downloads.

My download is a .zip file. How do I open it?

Each resource downloads as a .zip folder that holds all of its files.

  • iPhone or iPad: open the Files app, find the zip in Downloads, and tap it. It unzips into a folder you can open.
  • Mac: double-click the zip.
  • Windows: right-click the zip and choose Extract All.
My file won’t open or shows a file-path error.

This usually happens on Windows when the files are unzipped inside the Downloads folder, because the folder path gets too long. Move the zip to your Desktop, then right-click it and choose Extract All.

Still stuck? Reach out and I’ll help.

Do I need an account?

No, you can check out without signing up. An account is created for you automatically with the email you use at checkout, and you’ll get an email to set your password. If you already have an account, your order is added to it.
