What Is Here and How It Prints

1. 1

   Six Kinds of Sheet

   Six kinds of printable word games: crosswords at three grid sizes plus a freeform option, printable word searches by reading age, sight word bingo cards with a call list, free spelling worksheets, and blank guessing grids for the whole class. Every one is a real sheet rather than a sample.

2. 2

   The Same Sheet Every Time

   Each sheet has its own address, so the one you print in September is the one you print again in January. That matters if you photocopy a class set, link it from a lesson plan, or have to reprint for the child who lost theirs.

3. 3

   Nothing but the Sheet Prints

   The navigation, the pickers and the guidance are all screen-only. Hit print and you get the puzzle, a name and date line, and nothing else — no menu bar across the top of a photocopy and no ink wasted on furniture.

4. 4

   Answers Keep to Their Own Page

   The printable crossword prints its answers after the puzzles rather than beside them, so you can hand out the front and keep the last page back. The bingo call list and the word list for the guessing game work the same way. Print the lot for solving on your own and it is a two-page pack.
