Frequently asked questions
How many new words should children learn a week?
Most teachers introduce 5 to 10 words a week and keep revisiting them. Seeing a word many times in different sentences matters more than the total.
Will every worksheet be the same?
No. Each tap of “New worksheet” picks a different mix of questions from the topic’s question bank, so you can give different versions to different students.
Can I choose the kinds of questions?
Yes. Switch each section on or off (matching, fill in the blanks, true or false, multiple choice and more) and choose how many questions go in each.
What age is this worksheet for?
Grades 2–6 (ages 7–12). The questions use plain language and avoid trick wording.
Can I print it in black and white?
Yes. The worksheet uses light tints that print clearly in grey, or pick the grey colour theme.
