My resources are sold in The Candy Class as well as at TeachersPayTeachers. Most resources in both shops are identical, except I do offer special bundles and exclusive products in my shop. Sale prices may fluctuate from location to location due to sales or coupons available.
Yes! I am able to offer special customer and product discounts in my own shop that TPT does not allow.
Each product that is listed in both shops has identical content. The regular price of each resource is identical no matter where you purchase. Individual resource prices may fluctuate due to sales or coupons.
Additionally, I offer exclusive bundles and resources in my shop.
Sometimes my emails land in your junk or spam folder, especially if it’s the first time you’ve gotten a message from me. If you don’t see an email you’re expecting, check there first.
If you find the email in your spam or junk folder, mark it as “not spam” or move it to your inbox. Then add my email address to your contacts. This will help future emails arrive correctly.
If you don’t find the email in your spam or junk folder, submit a support request so I can troubleshoot this for you. You will receive a response in 1-2 business days.
School email filters can be very strict and often block emails. This means you may not receive the receipt and download link for your purchases.
Using a personal email address ensures these important emails land in your inbox.
Due to the digital nature of these products, once a resource is bought and downloaded, it cannot be returned or refunded.
Please ensure that you look carefully at what you are buying and read the details underneath each resource before you make a purchase. Your satisfaction means a lot to me, and I will be happy to work with you if you are unsatisfied.
If you have a problem or question about your order, please submit a support request so I can assist you.
While I love that you’d like to share, it is against the Terms of Use to email or redistribute free or paid resources from my website or shop (as well as resources purchased on TeachersPayTeachers). Each resource is for single classroom or personal use only.
You will be breaking copyright laws if you share the resources you have purchased or downloaded. This includes but is not limited to emailing files, uploading to shared drives and sharing logins.
If a colleague or friend would like a copy of the resource, I’d appreciate you sharing a link so they can purchase a single use license for themselves.
It may not seem like a big deal to share, but I discovered recently that one resource was shared so much from a link that was in paid products only to a free opt-in email that I could have bought a house in cash with the lost sales. It was shared multiple times more than I ever sold of the resource, and I know most people probably do not click the free links either. Considering I can not even afford a down deposit to buy a home currently since my divorce and am starting over in debt, it makes me sad to know I could have a house if people be honest. Please don’t share. Thank you for respecting my terms of use.
I would love to be able to do that, but unfortunately time is limited. I do listen to requests for resource updates and future offerings. Typically though, my plate overflows with projects, so I do not have time to offer customized or edited resources. I do listen to requests for sure though to make improvements.
However, if there is an error or mistake in a resource, please reach out for that to be fixed.
You must have an account to purchase from my shop. You will create your account during the checkout process.
Once you have an account, you’ll be able to view your past orders, access previous purchases, and update your details. You’ll also be able to shop quickly as your information will be saved when you’re logged in as a user.
You can access your account by clicking My Account in the menu at the top or at the bottom of the page.
Click the “Lost your Password” link on the My Account page. You will be prompted to enter your email address and then you will receive an email with a link to reset your password.
If you get an error saying your email address doesn’t exist, you have likely entered your email address incorrectly during the account creation process. If that’s the case, you’ll need to send a support request, so we can troubleshoot this for you.
You have likely entered your email address incorrectly during the account creation process or you registered using a different email address. Either way, you’ll need to submit a support request, so I can troubleshoot this for you. You will receive a response in 1-2 business days unless I am on vacation.
If you’ve made a mistake, you can change your email address by logging into your account (using the incorrect email address) and then going to your account details in the dashboard.
However, if you know you’ve made a mistake but you’re not sure of the spelling or error, submit a support request so I can troubleshoot this for you.
We accept most major credit cards via Stripe payments. Stripe is one of the most widely trusted payment processors, used by many high-profile companies you already shop with, so you can rest assured your information is safe!
We also accept PayPal payments.
We do NOT accept personal checks or money orders.
Payments are processed securely through Stripe. Stripe is a leader in online payment processing, and is trusted by large and small businesses across the world.
All of your payment information is stored by Stripe, and we can only see the last 4 digits of your card number. We will never have access to your full credit card number.
If you shop online with big and/or small companies, you already probably have used Stripe many times.
All of your purchases are store in your account. You can access the receipts by logging in to your account and clicking Order History.
There are three places to access your purchases:
After you have completed your purchase, you will be taken to an Order Confirmation page. You can download your purchase right away by clicking on the download button as pictured below. This will open your download in a new window which you can then save and/or open.
You’ll also receive an email once your purchase is complete. The download button in your email will take you to your account where you’ll need to log in using the details you provided during your account set up. Once you log in, you can access all of your downloads by clicking My Downloads.
Absolutely! You can access your purchases anytime in your account. You’ll have access for as long as the site is active, but it’s always a good idea to save a copy to your computer or USB drive, just in case!
All you need to do is log into your account. Click on My Downloads, and you’ll be able to download all of your purchases there.
This is usually because you have purchased your products using a different email address/account. If this happens, I can merge your accounts together. Just submit a support request with detailed information, so it can be fixed for you.
I am not able to provide support for downloading resources on mobile devices or tablets. Due to the wide variety of phones, tablets and devices available, I cannot test on every platform. Many mobile devices do not support the variety of file types used in my resources.
I recommend that you download your purchases onto a computer or laptop. Please make sure you have a program that allows you to download and view PDF files on your computer.
In order to protect files from being shared illegally, all download links are protected so that only the person that purchased the product can use the link.
You may see this error message on a resource that you purchased if you click the download link in an email but are already signed into the site with a different email address or if you have forwarded the purchase email to another email address.
If you encounter this error, simply visit the site and log in to your account. You can download all of your purchases on the My Downloads page.
All files have been saved in high resolution ready for you to print either at home or via a printing company. Follow the steps below to print your PDF.
1. Click to download the file from your account.
2. Be sure to save the file to your desktop computer rather than just open the resource.
3. Open the file with Adobe Acrobat Reader. (You only need the free version!)
4. Select File>Print and then ensure the printer settings are correct.
I recommend printing at High Quality for the most accurate and highest print quality.
If you’re having trouble printing a PDF, please be sure that you’re opening the PDF with the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader. Printing PDF files from your web browser or the Preview app frequently cause errors such as black boxes behind images, fonts not printing correctly, etc.
1. Open the PDF file with Adobe Acrobat Reader
2. Click “Print”
3. In the “Page Sizing & Handling” section, select “Shrink Oversized Pages” if needed.
4. Click on “Advanced”
5. Check the “Print as Image” box.
6. Print the document
All resources are designed to be printed on 8.5×11 paper. Be sure to select ‘fit to page’ when printing your resource to ensure that important parts of the page aren’t being cut off during the printing process.

Literacy is my passion. I currently am focused on the science of reading with my creations. I have both a bachelor and master’s degree in elementary education with around 20 years experience in the educational field. I am grateful I get to wake up each day and create things that help children learn how to read. Make sure to sign-up for my newsletter to gain some of these creations.
