Help Teaching Pro Subscription for
Kindergarten and Beyond {Review}
We’ve been working with my five-year-old son, on reading, writing, and math for the past several weeks. This is his first time “doing school” with us, now that he is a Kindergartener. The printable worksheets from HelpTeaching.com through the Help Teaching Pro Subscription make it so easy to add more practice to my son’s math time.
Help Teaching Pro Subscription is an online subscription to a website with tons and tons of printables and lessons. They offer lessons, quizzes, tests and worksheets in all grade levels from Early Elementary to 12th Grade. You can search by either grade level or by category (subject matter).
Help Teaching Pro offers the following subjects: Arts, Early Education, English Language Arts, Life Skills, Math, Physical Education, Science, Seasonal and Holidays, Social Studies, Study Skills and Strategies, Common Core ELA, Common Core Math, Math Worksheet Generators and Printable Game Generators.
I think this is a perfect addition to any Kindergarten curriculum. All the worksheets and lessons are available to you on this website. Just print and place in a binder and you are set for the whole school year! I want to show you what we’ve been enjoying from Help Teaching.
We started off with math since we are just starting to work on math with him full-time. I wanted him to have some extra practice and to have fun doing it. I started off by printing some worksheets on just the basics: shapes. This one was a little easy for him – I think it would have been more appropriate for his little (4 year old) sister.
We then moved on to addition problems. I ended up printing all of the sheets that go with addition up to the number 5. Then I got out my laminator and laminated them so that we could reuse them each day. I let him use a mini-dry erase marker to draw pictures (to help him visualize) and to circle the correct number. I love these worksheets because no writing is really needed. It is all multiple choice and this also gives us the opportunity to practice saying our numbers and remember which number corresponds to each digit.
I wanted to quickly mention some of the other worksheets that are available to you through the Help Teaching Pro Subscription. There are many pre-school orientated worksheets including this one for learning your colors.
There are even some Kindergarten and First Grade phonics and reading worksheets. The one in the picture above allows the student to practice his beginning letter sounds without having to write the letters out. This one we are planning to use as soon as we finish our phonics book. I think it would be good practice for a child who had just learned the basic letter sounds. They also offer matching pictures to the correct word and even phonics lessons.
Math: I love this one and it would be another great one to laminate. Each day your student could fill in one line of the missing numbers – or if they are ambitious let them fill in all of them! What great practice for learning to write their numbers!
Math: There are even worksheets on practicing the “number words”. I love this starting in about first grade (unless you have an earlier reader). I think this is great practice!
Language Skills: This particular worksheet is great practice for learning the correct words for where things are. I know my oldest son who has special needs and autism had really struggled with this for years. My now 4-year-old is still working on it! I hadn’t seen a worksheet for this practice until now!
Reading: I can’t wait for my son to get to this exercise after he has learned all his letters and is blending a little better than he is now!
Nature: I LOVE this! How much more fun does it get? Get outside, see some nature. We will be using this on Friday’s during our nature walk and play time!!! There are about 10 DIFFERENT Day in the Park Bingo printables offered on the Help Teaching Pro Subscription. So, you could go every week and not have to repeat for two months or more!
Seasonal: I just threw this one in because I love seasonal printables and this one is so fitting for this time of year. Who doesn’t like to count pieces of pumpkin pie?
They also offer lessons in each of the letters with a short video clip on the letter sounds.
Older Elementary: This subscription is not just for preschool and Kindergarten. There are so many worksheets available on this website, I can’t cover them all. There are grammar and language arts worksheets for older elementary aged kids. The one pictured above is geared toward fourth graders.
Music
My 6th-grade son has been enjoying using some of their music pages. They have printable lined paper so that he can compose his own music (which he loves doing for piano). They also offer quizzes and tests for music theory.
Math Generators
I wanted to also mention the math worksheet generators. These worksheets are customizable choose between addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Choose how many numbers in each place and even how many problems on a page!
There is all this and a bunch more on the Help Teaching website!
