    Good to know

    Are the printables really free?

    Yes. Every printable on this page is free to download and print for home, classroom, or library use. No sign-up is needed.

    What ages are these for?

    Most of the picture books and activities fit ages 4 to 8, roughly kindergarten through grade 2. The coloring books and the Would You Rather book work well for older kids too.

    Is the Tiny Traveler Activity Pack the same as these printables?

    No. The full Activity Pack comes with The Star Inside My Blood and is unlocked with the reader code printed inside the book. The printables here are a free sampler anyone can use.

    Do the games collect information about my child?

    No. Nothing your family types or taps is sent anywhere. The reading star chart is saved only in your own browser, and you can clear it any time.

    Can I share these with my class?

    Yes, please print copies for your students. Just link people to this page instead of re-posting the PDF files, so they always get the newest version.
