Why teachers here use these
Why these suit PEI classrooms
Prince Edward Island runs its English public schools through the Public Schools Branch, an arm's-length body separate from the Department of Education and Early Years — an arrangement few provinces use, and one that leaves a good deal of day-to-day curriculum work sitting with the teacher in the room. The province takes part in the shared Atlantic Canada curriculum-development tradition rather than publishing one branded framework, so anyone hunting for material is working across subject documents instead of a single catalogue. Provincial Assessments check literacy and numeracy at set grades, and senior students are working towards the PEI Senior High School Graduation Certificate and its credit count, through either the English or the French Immersion pathway. Schools here are small, which means one teacher often carries a subject across several grades and marks for all of them. A finished unit takes on the part that eats the most time: four levels of worksheets, an editable deck, complete answer keys and a timed lesson plan, ready the moment the download finishes.
A sequence you can run
How a unit runs across five lessons
The five lessons below are the sequence built into each download, timed for a period of roughly an hour and easy to shorten on the day an assembly takes half of one.
- Listen before you labelStudents hear or read the example first and write down three things they notice. The deck holds the material and the worksheet holds the frame, so nobody has to invent a starting point.
- Name the techniqueThe second lesson introduces the terms the class was reaching for, one at a time, each attached to a short task rather than a definition to copy into a notebook.
- Compare two examplesPutting a second piece beside the first is where the thinking happens. Students who repeated the teacher's words in lesson two have to build their own comparison here.
- Work at your own levelFour versions of the practice sheet go out at once, so students in one room can be on very different pages while the class still works through a single question.
- Write it up for marksThe closing task is a short written response with a key you can mark against, which leaves you dated evidence for report cards and for the student's file.

Make it work in your building
Made for small Island schools
Provincial Assessments check literacy and numeracy at set grades, but the day-to-day picture of a student comes from the work in front of you. Four tiers of one task keep that picture honest, because the question is the same for everybody and what comes back can be compared across a class even though the reading demand was not. Over a term it becomes a small folder of dated written work per student — useful at a parent meeting, useful when a support team asks what has changed, and useful when a senior student needs evidence of the work behind a credit towards the PEI Senior High School Graduation Certificate. The keys keep the marking short enough to stay on top of.
Good to know
Frequently asked questions
Is this material official PEI curriculum?
No. These are independent teaching resources, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the Department of Education and Early Years. Each unit is written to the concepts and skills the provincial curriculum documents describe for its subject and grade range, which is not the same as being approved for use in the province. Every unit has a preview: read it against the outcomes you are actually teaching this term, and buy only if it fits.
How do these relate to Provincial Assessments and graduation?
The province runs Provincial Assessments as literacy and numeracy checks at specific grades, and senior students earn the PEI Senior High School Graduation Certificate on a defined credit count. These units are teaching material, not exam preparation, and we make no claim about results. What they give you is regular reading, subject vocabulary and marked written responses across a course — the work a credit is made of, produced week by week rather than revised for at the end.
How many copies am I allowed to make?
Enough for the students you teach, with no page cap and no per-copy fee. The worksheets are laid out in plain black and white so they photocopy cleanly and do not eat colour toner, and most teachers run only the two tiers a given class needs. Since the files stay on your own drive, printing the same unit again next year costs you nothing beyond the paper.
Can I pass a unit to another teacher in my school?
The licence covers one teacher and every section that teacher takes, this year and afterwards. A colleague teaching their own classes needs a copy of their own. In a small school where two or three of you would use the same material, price the bundle against separate unit purchases before deciding — a bundle also travels through the office as one invoice rather than several small ones.
What formats arrive, and will they work with our school systems?
Every unit downloads as editable Word files, an editable PowerPoint deck and print-ready PDFs. The PDFs post straight into Google Classroom or whichever learning platform your school uses, and students can work on them digitally or on paper. Editable files matter more than they sound: changing a name, cutting a question or adding your school's header takes a minute instead of a rebuild. Nothing needs a subscription or a connection once the files are saved.
Our school is run by the Public Schools Branch. Does that affect buying?
Not from our side. A purchase here is a single-teacher licence with an instant download, so nothing depends on a board-level agreement or a provincial account. Because the English public schools are operated by the branch rather than the department directly, reimbursement and purchasing practice are set locally — ask your principal how your school handles a small classroom-resource claim before you spend, and keep the receipt the store emails you.
