Good to know before you buy

  • Instant digital download; nothing ships.
  • Print PDFs are US Letter only (no A4 edition).
  • K-2 children's text is drawn as vector outlines (single-storey a and g), so it cannot be searched, copied or read aloud by a screen reader.
  • Story texts are our own retellings of public-domain tales; they are not the original wording of any edition.
  • Google Slides version included: PowerPoint files (.pptx) that import into Google Slides; typing and dragging work in edit mode, self-checking in Present mode; no Google Forms or automatic scores. Not yet opened in Google Slides by a person.

Questions before you buy

What do I get after I pay?

An email with your download link, right after checkout. The files are PDFs for US Letter paper, in color and in black and white.

Do I need a color printer?

No. Every PDF comes in a color edition and a black-and-white edition.

Can I share the files with my grade-level team?

Each purchase is a single-classroom license: one teacher, one classroom. The license is on page 2 of every PDF.
