Q. Do you have homework sheets for the whole year?

Hi,

Unfortunately it is not possible to access the homework contracts that we previously listed. Homework sheets are available for approximately 4 weeks at a time. We continually replace them with current material in order to keep the content fresh and to save space for other resources. Doing this enables us to keep cost of membership low. New homework sheets are added on a weekly basis throughout each school term.

Q. Is there any other way of downloading resources without using Adobe Reader?

All resources on the Teach This website are created using Adobe Professional with a security certificate embedded into it. We have worked extremely hard to ensure there is no possibility of downloading corrupted or virus infected files from the Teach This website. This is part of the reason we take the time to secure every file listed. Unfortunately the secured files require Adobe Reader access to the internet to check the security prior to any user opening the file.

Therefore, in our Terms and Conditions, we make mention of the fact that you must be connected to the internet to open every file. Additionally, we receive data on the popularity of various downloads and this enables us to ensure we continue to create and provide high demand resources for our members.

Q. Why aren’t there many holiday themes available at any one time?

We add new material to the holiday themes category approximately 6 weeks prior to the calendar event. Those holiday events that have passed are removed until the following year. This process saves space on the site and keeps the cost of membership low but still provides sufficient time for teachers to plan units in advance.
