Kindergarten printable worksheets

Five and six: small letters after the capitals, the first sight words, sounds blended into whole words, and numbers that start behaving like quantities rather than like shapes. This is the year the ruling comes down a size, from an inch to three quarters of one.

Where to start

Three worth printing this week, out of everything below.

  • Small letter tracing — The small letters, which are the ones nearly all writing is actually made of.
  • Sight words to write out — The words that will not sound out, on the list a school works through first.
  • Hundred chart — Ten rows of ten, so that going down the chart is adding ten.

Everything for ages 5 and 6

69 sheets across 10 shelves, and each of them is a page that is itself the sheet — open it, press print, and that is the whole of it.

Math

Worksheets from adding to twenty through to word problems, each with its answer key on the page behind it.

Handwriting

Letters traced, then copied, then written on an empty line — the same three steps at every size of ruling.

Penmanship

For the child who can form every letter and still hands in a page nobody can read: strokes, sizes, spaces, judging your own work, and the alphabet against the clock.

Bible

Scripture copywork, handwriting and memory work: the sheets above with a passage on them, in a public-domain translation.

Spelling

This week’s list in five shapes, the first sight words, and the pages on how words are put together.

Grammar

How a sentence is put together — the parts of speech, its two halves, what it is for, and the marks that finish it.

Phonics

Built from the sounds you have ticked, so a sheet never contains a spelling that has not been taught yet.

Charts and grids

References with nothing on them to answer: hundred charts, number lines, coordinate grids and place-value columns.

Forms and planners

The paperwork a week needs — logs, reports, calendars, charts, certificates and cards. Supposed to be empty.

Paper

Ruled paper by the sheet: notebook rules, the five handwriting sizes, and squares, dots and triangles.

What kindergarten means on this page

The ages come off each sheet, not off a standard we do not have.

Sight words are the odd ones out on the spelling shelf and this is the year they matter most. A hundred or so words make up about half of everything a child reads, and a good many of them — “said”, “one”, “come” — do not say what their letters suggest, so they are learned by the eye rather than worked out. The sheets trace them, write them out and hide them in a grid to find, which is three different ways of looking at the same short list.

The counting sheets here have nothing on them to answer, and that is what they are for. A hundred chart is ten rows of ten so that moving down it is adding ten; a number line to twenty is a distance a finger can walk. Both are references a child works against rather than work a child hands in, and both stay on the wall long after the worksheets have gone in the recycling.

No sheet on this site is assigned to a school year. Each one states the ages it was drawn for on its own page — Ages 8–11 on the division worksheet, because that is who those numbers suit — and this page collects the sheets whose stated ages reach 5 or 6, which is where most children are in kindergarten. So the same sheet appears on two or three of these pages, and that is the honest answer rather than a lapse: a sheet for nine to twelve belongs to the fourth-grader and the seventh-grader both.

If your child is working a year either side of their class, the neighboring page is the one to use and nothing here will disagree with you about it. Curriculum and grade levels differ by state, by country and by family, and a worksheet site that told you otherwise would be inventing a standard to sound authoritative.

The rest of the Print Shop

Ten shelves and ten school years, over the same sheets. A shelf is what a sheet is; a year is who it was drawn for, which every sheet states on its own page.

Your child’s name is not in the file

Where a sheet has a Name: line at all, it is printed blank and filled in with a pencil. Nothing is uploaded to make one, no account is needed to print one, and a sheet you send to another family carries the settings you chose and nothing else — see what we don’t collect.
