How it works

  1. Add your words. Spelling words, sight words, word families — anything your child is learning right now.
  2. Pick activities. Each activity becomes its own page, so you can mix and match for homework or a word work center.
  3. Print. Download one PDF with every page, ready for your home or school printer.

The activities

Trace

Each word starts with a solid example, followed by copies to trace. Starting dots show where every letter begins. Turn on trace & fade and the copies get harder across the line — from light gray, to dashed, to hollow outline letters.

Read & write

Children read the word on the left, then write it on their own across the line. Great for spelling practice.

Rainbow writing

Kids color the three circles with three crayons, then trace each hollow word once in every color. The repetition helps spelling stick — and it’s more fun than writing a word five times in pencil.

For teachers: a packet for every student

Open “For teachers: make a set for your class” and paste your student names, one per line. You’ll get a single PDF with a full packet for each child, their name already filled in at the top. Tick “Remember my class list” and it will be waiting for you next week — stored only in your browser, never uploaded to our servers.
