I'm thrilled to report that all of the books for the Word Problems from Literature Kickstarter are in the mail.
Most of you should have received your copies by now. But if they haven't yet arrived, you can find the tracking information on your Backerkit survey page. (Go to wordproblems.backerkit.com to sign in.)
If you are missing any rewards or have any problems at all, please let me know. You can message me on Kickstarter or use the contact form at denisegaskins.com/about.
I want to thank each and every one of you for supporting this project. I couldn't have done it without you, and I'm so grateful for your support. I hope you and your kids enjoy the book and that it helps to make math more fun and engaging.
Thank you again, and happy learning!
Denise
P.S.: Another Project You May Enjoy
BYŌDŌ - The Math Game System
Create and play tons of math games with this tile-based game system for all ages. Hexagonal numbered tiles allow players to create chains of visual and manipulable mathematical operations.
Check it out and consider supporting the project. I love discovering new ways to play math with our kids!

Good news: Several of the Word Problems from Literature paperback books have arrived, and they look great! I hope to ship out at least a few of your orders next week, before heading out of town for the family holiday.
That means I need to lock in your mailing address.
If you've moved or changed your address details in the last couple of months, you have 48 hours to enter your updated information. Click the link in the BackerKit email you just received, or go to https://wordproblems.backerkit.com to sign in to your survey page.
Thank you again for supporting my playful math books.
Have a great Thanksgiving! (Or have a fun family weekend, for those of you outside the US.)

For those of you waiting on your physical books: We had a slight delay with the printer, but I think/hope that we're still on track for delivering most of your books before Christmas. I'll let you know for sure when I know more myself...
Meanwhile, I've got the digital files posted at my publisher's online store, where people can buy the exclusive pre-release edition of the Word Problems from Literature ebooks and audio commentary, as well as The Case of the Mysterious Story Problem by Sherlock Holmes.
And now we're celebrating with a 10% discount through the Black Friday/Cyber Monday season: https://shop.tabletopacademypress.com/collection/word-problems
These are the same Kickstarter files that you've already received through BackerKit (https://wordproblems.backerkit.com) and BookFunnel (https://my.bookfunnel.com). But we've got plenty of other goodies in our store, too --- including plenty of math games and creative journaling resources.
If you've been enjoying your playful math books and activity guides, please share the link with your friends!
Learning is a lifelong adventure. May you always enjoy the journey.

Word Problems Audio Commentary Delivered!

The Word Problems Audio Commentary is finally done!
It was a real challenge to process the files. If you're on my newsletter mailing list, you heard about my troubles with the zombie computer. Well, it took three tries, but the revivification process worked well enough that we're now cruising along just fine.
So I've sent the Audio Commentary files (and the accompanying Annotated PDF) to everyone who ordered it.
To find your files, click the link in your email notification. Or go to the BackerKit project page (https://wordproblems.backerkit.com) and enter your email address (the same one you used on Kickstarter). That will take you to your survey page, where all your digital downloads are stored.
If you're not sure what to do with zip files, read https://www.wikihow.com/Unzip-a-File.
The audiobook has also been added to your BookFunnel library. Log in to the BookFunnel app (https://getbookfunnel.com) or website (https://my.bookfunnel.com) using your Kickstarter email. (If you log in and your BookFunnel library is empty, log in to BookFunnel using your other email address to get your books. 'Cuz those of us who use multiple addresses sometimes forget which one we used where.)
This marks the last of our digital rewards. If you're missing a download, please check your BackerKit survey page (see link above), and contact me if you have any problems.
Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for the printed books to arrive. That's the one area outside my control, where delays may yet throw us off our delivery schedule...
Thank you so much for all your generous support. May you always have fun playing math with your kids!

Word Problems from Literature Ebooks Delivered!

The Word Problems from Literature books are headed to the printer!
That means more ebook files for y'all: The Word Problems from Literature and Word Problems Student Workbook ebooks are now available for download on BackerKit.
Also, I've charged everyone's cards for any orders you added in your BackerKit survey. Sometimes BackerKit withholds digital downloads until the credit charge goes through, so if you were missing any of the earlier files, you should be able to see them now.
To find your files, click the link in your email notification. Or go to the BackerKit project page (https://wordproblems.backerkit.com) and enter your email address (the same one you used on Kickstarter).
If you're not sure what to do with zip files, read https://www.wikihow.com/Unzip-a-File.
The Word Problems from Literature and Word Problems Student Workbook ebooks have also been added to your BookFunnel library. Log in to the BookFunnel app (https://getbookfunnel.com) or website (https://my.bookfunnel.com) using your Kickstarter email. (If you log in and your BookFunnel library is empty, log in to BookFunnel using your other email address to get your books. Because those of us who use multiple addresses sometimes forget which one we used where.)
Now, while I wait for the printed books to arrive, I'll get to work on that Audio Commentary. I've written out plenty of notes, so I just need to sit down with my phone and talk until I'm hoarse...
Thank you for supporting my work!
Denise
