Questions

Questions from teachers.

Can I use these worksheets in my classroom?

Yes. Classroom use is included in every membership, so you can print copies for the children in your care for as long as you are subscribed. The page files themselves cannot be resold, shared or uploaded to other sites.

Can I put Name, Class and Date at the top of each sheet?

Yes. Switch on homework mode when you download and the sheet prints with lines for Name, Class and Date across the top. It works on coloring pages, ABC pages, word puzzles and matching pages.

Do the word searches come with an answer key?

Yes. Every word search has its answer key on its own page, so you can keep it at your desk or hand it out for self-checking.

Do my pupils need an account?

No. Only you sign in. You print the sheets and hand them out, so there are no child accounts and no personal details to collect from your class.

What can I use for morning work and early finishers?

Coloring pages sorted by theme and season, short word searches by age, memory cards and matching packs all print clean and ready to use. Many teachers keep a folder of printed sheets in an early finisher bin.

Are there pages for language classes and bilingual classrooms?

Yes. ABC pages and matching packs are available in English, Português, Español and Français, in print letters or joined handwriting letters (manuscript), the style taught in many European schools.

Can I choose the paper size?

Yes. Print in A4, Letter, A5, Legal or Square, portrait or landscape, sharp at the edges with no watermark.

Is there a free trial?

There is no trial period, but you can colour a page, play memory, build an ABC sheet and solve a word search right here on this page. A new free page also goes up every day, with no account and no email needed.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes, from your account page. You keep access until the end of the billing period you have paid for.
