Printable worksheets

At interviews we were asked by parents if there were worksheets available online to print out at home.  

The short answer is 'Yes!' there are millions of worksheets sites and the best way to navigate your way through them is to know exactly what your child's current learning step is and google that.

For example, if your child is learning to count forward and back in 5s then just google search 'counting in 5s worksheet printable'.

You can find worksheets for reading comprehension, spelling, writing and statistics online - it doesn't just have to be basic facts.

Here are a few websites to get you started...
