TK is a gentle first year of school. Packs stay playful and concrete: patterns, counting, shapes, names and letters, and they use the things your child already loves, so a worksheet feels like play you can finish together.
Here’s a page from a TK sample, made for a kid who loves sparkles and crowns. The name on it, Tess, is made up.

Name and Date on every page, in big type that’s easy to find.
A playful title with the child’s name, here, Tess’s Sparkle Shapes.
A theme from what they love with original characters, here, Princess Tali, a little fox, a crown and a snowflake.
Short instructions a grown-up can read aloud, in big clear type.
A pattern row to draw what comes next: crowns and snowflakes, then shapes.
Name the shapes and color them. The word is already written under each one.
A counting row How many crowns? How many shells? Write the number in the box.
Clap the parts of a word, like crown, castle, or snowflake, and write how many claps you hear.
A TK pack is meant to be done in one short sitting, a little shorter than a school-age pack, with big pictures and room to color.
Text back a photo of a finished page and the next pack can linger on a skill or move on.
Kids in TK spend a lot of time counting real things, usually up to 10, and noticing which group has more. They sort by color or size, copy simple patterns, and learn the names of circles, squares, triangles and rectangles by seeing and coloring them.
The year starts with their own name and the letters in it, then letter names and the sounds those letters make. They also play with the sounds in words: rhymes, and clapping the beats in a word like castle or snowflake.
TK science is about looking closely. Packs use the five senses, familiar seasons, falling leaves, pumpkins, rain, and easy living-or-not sorts, always with pictures a young child can point to.
