About English1to5
English1to5 is free reading and grammar practice for kindergarten through 5th grade, built for parents who want to help at home. Every lesson is short, every worksheet has an answer key, and nothing on the site asks your child for anything.
What we make
- Short lessons that explain one skill in plain words, with examples, common mistakes and ideas for practicing at home. Start with grammar or punctuation.
- Practice quizzes that read questions aloud and explain wrong answers, so a child can practice on their own.
- Free printable worksheets, each with an answer key. See all worksheets.
- Grade pages that list every reading and writing skill for the year in order: K, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
- Printable workbooks for parents who want a full course with a script for every lesson. See workbooks.
How we build lessons
Every lesson is matched to the Common Core standards most US states use, and the code appears on the page so you can match it to your child's school. Reading lessons follow the science of reading: phonics and sounds first, taught in order, with lots of practice. Grammar is taught by talking before writing, because kids hear what sounds right long before they can name the rule.
Every answer key is checked by hand, and every quiz is tested by answering each question in a real browser before a page goes live. If you spot a mistake, please tell us; we fix errors quickly.
How the site pays for itself
There are no ads on English1to5, and there never will be on pages made for kids. The lessons, quizzes and worksheets are free. The site is paid for by our printable workbooks, which bundle a year of lessons with a placement check, scripts for parents and an answer key that explains mistakes.
Privacy for kids
Kids don't make accounts here, and we don't collect names, emails or anything else from children. Quiz scores and checklist ticks are saved only in your own browser, on your own device. Read the full privacy policy.
Who's behind it
English1to5 was founded by Vikas Disale, who also builds MathifyKids, a math practice site for young kids. He writes and checks the lessons and answer keys on this site.
