Free English printables
171 free printable english resources for teachers — A4 PDFs, ready to print, no sign-up.
These are the English resources that live in the classroom rather than the exercise book: story mountain planners and inference planning mats for structuring thinking, sentence strips and word mats for scaffolding writing, editing checklists for the redrafting stage, and card packs covering figurative language, grammar terminology and retrieval questions. Coverage is strongest in Years 3–6, with material from early Year 1 phonics support through to Year 11 analysis skills.
Every resource is a free A4 PDF. Mats and planners work well laminated for repeated use; card packs are made to cut once and keep in a labelled tub.

How teachers use these english printables
Planning mats before independent writing
Story mountain planners and graphic organisers give students a structure to talk through and fill in before drafting — the difference between a blank page and a plan.
Word mats as a scaffold on tables
Theme vocabulary word mats sit on the table during writing so students reach for ambitious vocabulary without breaking flow to ask for spellings.
Editing checklists in the redrafting stage
Hand out an editing checklist and make revision a concrete, tickable process — students check their own work against specific criteria before you see it.
Card sorts for grammar and figurative language
Grammar terminology and figurative language cards work as paired sorting or matching activities — faster feedback than a worksheet and easy to repeat as retrieval practice weeks later.
Question cards for guided reading
Retrieval and inference question cards give guided-reading groups a ready set of prompts, so discussion goes deeper than "what happened next?"
Frequently asked questions
What's in this collection besides worksheets?
This collection deliberately isn't worksheets — it's planning mats, word mats, sentence strips, checklists, bookmarks and card packs that support reading and writing lessons. Free English worksheets (phonics, comprehension, grammar) are a separate library, linked below.
Which year levels are covered?
Years 1–11, weighted towards Years 3–6. Each printable lists its year range, and many scaffolds (like editing checklists and planning mats) adapt easily a year or two either side.
Do I need to laminate these?
Not required, but word mats, planning mats and reference posters get heavy reuse — laminating them (or slipping them into wallets) means one print lasts the year.
Can I get a version tailored to my class?
The PDFs download as-is, free. For a tailored version — different vocabulary, a different text, your year level — Kuraplan generates custom English resources in seconds.
