Education.com
A library of printable worksheets, workbooks, online games, guided lessons and lesson plans for pre-K through 5th grade, owned by IXL Learning. A free account allows a few downloads a month; Premium unlocks everything for the whole family.
What is Education.com?
Education.com is a large library of printable worksheets, workbooks, online games, guided lessons and lesson plans for pre-K through 5th grade. It was founded in 2006 and has been owned by IXL Learning since 2019, the same company behind IXL, ABCya and Rosetta Stone.
The core idea is simple: search by grade and skill, then print or play. When IXL bought it, Education.com described more than 30,000 resources covering over 800 skills in math, language arts, science and social studies.
How it works
There are two ways to use it. Parents can browse and print worksheets and workbooks, which come with answer keys. Kids can also sign in and play learning games or work through Guided Lessons, which teach one skill at a time with a short video, song or story, then practice.
A progress tracker suggests what to work on next. A worksheet generator builds custom word searches, crosswords and math sheets. Most families use it for 10 to 30 minutes of practice, either as a warm-up or to reinforce a skill from their main curriculum.
What it covers
| Grade band | Typical content |
|---|---|
| Pre-K and K | Letters, tracing, counting, shapes, colors, beginning sounds |
| 1st–2nd | Phonics, sight words, addition and subtraction, place value, handwriting |
| 3rd–5th | Multiplication, fractions, reading comprehension, grammar, writing prompts, science projects |
Science, social studies and social-emotional learning appear throughout, though math and reading have the most depth.
Who it's best for
Education.com fits parents who want quick, skill-specific practice that matches what their child is learning, homeschoolers who want printables to round out a program, and families with several elementary kids, since one membership covers everyone.
It is not a full curriculum. If you want a sequenced, all-in-one program, look at Time4Learning or Miacademy. If your kids have outgrown 5th grade, IXL or Khan Academy go further.
Pricing at a glance
Basic is free with a monthly download limit. As of October 2026, Premium renews at $15.99 a month or $119.88 a year, with discounted first terms for new members. The Terms of Use give you 30 days to cancel for a full refund. Many complaints online are about annual renewals, so note your renewal date.
Can a scholarship or ESA pay for it?
Sometimes. Some education savings account programs allow supplemental curriculum and educational software, while others limit spending to set vendors or marketplaces. Each program decides. Read how ESAs and scholarships work, then check your state, such as Arizona or Florida. Save Education.com to your wishlist and apply once on Edulist.

A summary of public parent feedback we read on forums, app stores and review sites. It is not a set of Edulist family reviews.
Homeschool bloggers like the size and organization of the library, the answer keys and the worksheet generator, and see it as a solid supplement. Trustpilot reviews are mostly negative and center on annual auto-renewals without a reminder, trouble canceling and email-only support. Few recent reviews exist there, so treat them with care.
