Kill your ink cartridge with thousands of free language worksheets

Wow! Two days old and we have our first submission.

Long-time reader, Jason McCary pointed me toward ESL Printables. In addition to getting the “straight-forward title” seal of approval, Printables offers nearly 8,000 documents ready for class use. Though the site is geared toward ESL teaching, most of the offerings would be useful to anyone working on the finer points of English.

With so much material on the site, the biggest problem is finding what you want. The straightforward search menu (pictured above) lets you quickly sift through the huge number of worksheets, lesson plans, and flash cards, to find what you are looking for. Additionally, you can browse the collection by a number of different categories, such as vocabulary, grammar, and so on.

Be warned, though, when it comes time to download your choice, you must be prepared to give as well as receive. A download costs you a credit. The only way to earn credits is to share a document of your own. The site operates on a fairly generous 10 download / 1 upload ratio (with bonuses for highly rated submissions), so it should be pretty easy to fill up your document folder with worksheets and quizzes.

Thanks, Jason.
