100 worksheets

Cryptogram worksheets give kindergartners a gentle code to crack: each picture or symbol stands for a letter, and the child decodes the clues to spell a word. For five- to seven-year-olds it turns letter recognition and early spelling into a puzzle with a satisfying reveal at the end. The picture-based clues keep it accessible for children still learning the classroom language. Each sheet is a free printable PDF with a matching play-online version that checks the decoded word, plus an answer key. The whole set is available in all 11 languages we publish in, so every kindergarten can build early literacy in the language its children are learning.
