Learning the ABCs in Time for Kindergarten

This is the time of year when parents start registering their children for kindergarten in the fall. A growing number of schools, particularly in the United States, now require that kids enter the kindergarten classroom knowing their ABCs (reading and writing them) and knowing how to print their names.

With these facts in mind, we have a large number of free handwriting practice worksheets. We even have individualized printables to help students learn to write their first names.

Fairy Tale Units

Fairy tales! Children love them. They are classic and fun and part of the curriculum. But where to find materials for teaching and exploring fairy tales? We have many free fairy tale lesson plans. We put these together to help both teachers who are compiling a unit on fairy tales, and teachers who may need emergency lesson plans for a substitute.

There are classics like Puss in Boots and Cinderella, along with more obscure classics like Riquet with the Tuft and Hans in Luck.

The texts are all in free printable PDF format, and there are worksheets to supplement the lessons.
