The Print ShopPre-K
Pre-K printable worksheets
Four and five, and almost all of it is a shape to fill in: letters and numbers traced an inch high, the first sounds on cards, and the words that have to be known by sight before anything else can be read. Nothing on this page asks a child to read the instructions, because at this age the grown-up reads them.

Where to start
Three worth printing this week, out of everything below.
- Sound cards — The sounds you have taught, on cards to cut out, and none you haven’t.
- Kindergarten writing paper — 1 inch — Inch-high lines with a solid midline: the ruling a first letter is written on.
- Letter tracing — the whole alphabet — The whole alphabet, traced then copied, a letter at a time.
Everything for ages 4 and 5
47 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 Pre-K means on this page
The ages come off each sheet, not off a standard we do not have.
The paper is the biggest ruling in the shop, and that is the point rather than a concession. An inch from one set of lines to the next, with a solid midline through the middle of it, because a four-year-old is aiming at a line rather than reading a hint — and because a child whose fine motor control is still arriving writes large. Paper that asks them to write small teaches them that handwriting is something they are bad at, which is a lesson that takes years to undo.
The phonics shelf is the one to spend this year on, and it is built the opposite way round from most of them: you tick the sounds that have actually been taught, and the sheet is made out of those and nothing else. A four-year-old handed a page with a spelling on it they have never seen is being asked to guess, and guessing is the habit the whole method exists to prevent.
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 4 or 5, which is where most children are in Pre-K. 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.
