Rachel Lynette Achieves

the 500K TpT Milestone!

You read that right! What a huge achievement — as Rachel pointed out, “It’s a long way between 75K and 500K!” No kidding.

Rachel is from Bothell, Washington and has written over 100 nonfiction books for children. She says, “My store really took off when I started creating task cards. Before that, I had tried creating many different types of products — games, worksheets, PowerPoints etc. While many of those are great products, I feel like I have found my niche with the task cards. I love creating them and I love knowing that kids love using them. So, my advice to other sellers is to find what YOU love to create and then develop your own, unique style.”

Leanne Prince’s tip: “One of my favorite products I’ve ever created is my Sticky Note Reading Strategies Pack! I love, love, love this because my students always get excited to use their reading strategies because they get to use fun, colorful sticky notes! Kids love bright colors, as do I, so I always try to have sticky notes in fun colors on hand. I love that the pages in my pack give a place for students to place their stickies and allow them to apply the reading strategy. It really seems to click for them!”
