How they're made
Drawn in the room. Tested with children. Then printed.
Tested in the room
Every pack is used with real Foundation Phase children before it's published. If a page doesn't work for the child in front of me, it doesn't make the pack.
Sequenced order
Sounds, letters and numbers are introduced in the order that builds — not the order that's easy. The sequencing is the work; the worksheets are just the vehicle.
Plain-paper friendly
A4, black-and-white, no laminator, no special printer. Designed to be useful in a busy classroom and a kitchen-table homeschool alike.
Updated by feedback
Teachers' notes refine the next version. Buyers get free access to revisions for the life of the pack — these are working documents, not museum pieces.
— 03 / Coming next
What's on the drawing board.
Sight word starter
The high-frequency words that decoding can't reach. Cards, sentence strips and a parent practice routine.
CVC reading reels
Short decodable reading strips for the consolidation block. Built to live in a clear pocket on the wall.
Maths stamina pack
Number bonds, doubles and near-doubles, plus mental-maths warm-ups for children who jam under timed pressure.
— 04 / Before you buy
A few honest answers.
When do these launch?
The first three packs — Phonics, Letter Formation and Number Sense — land in Q3 2026. Sight words and CVC reading reels follow in Q4 2026; the maths stamina pack opens 2027. Pricing shown is provisional and subject to a small adjustment at launch.
What does a school licence cover?
The default purchase is a single-teacher licence — one teacher, one classroom, unlimited prints for that classroom's children. A classroom-pack covers up to four teachers in the same school and same grade. Whole Foundation Phase department licences are quoted on request — email hello@chelsicryer.co.za.
Do you ship internationally?
The packs are A4 PDFs — nothing physical ships. They print the same way on a school photocopier in Ballito as they do in Auckland or Edinburgh. Pricing is quoted in ZAR; international card payments will convert at checkout once the storefront is live.
Can I request a custom pack for my class?
Sometimes, yes. Custom work is taken on case by case — usually for schools, homeschool co-ops or remedial colleagues with a clear gap in their existing materials. Send a short brief to hello@chelsicryer.co.za and Chelsi will reply with whether it fits the practice's current capacity.
