A 15-second loop. (Try a name below — the packet banner updates.)

  1. Max: Ugh, worksheets…
  2. Nib: These have YOUR name in them.
  3. A packet slides in — Made for Ava.
  4. Max: Wait… I’m the STAR?

  6. Max: Okay, I’m in!

What is Homeschool Packets?

Homeschool Packets sells monthly subscriptions to personalized, printable (or fillable-on-a-tablet) worksheet packets for kids in grades K–8. Parents enter their child’s first name and interests, pick subjects (Math, English, Science, History, Spanish, Art, Coding, Life Skills), and each week get a digital PDF with the child’s name built into the lessons, a short Max & Nib comic, and an answer key — emailed and ready to download. Plans are $7, $25 or $40 per month, and you can cancel anytime.

Made just for them

Every packet stars your kid

Max & Nib open every packet with a comic — and they talk to your child by name. Then the name keeps showing up all the way through. Tell us what they’re into and we weave those interests into word problems and the comic, too.

  1. 1

    Tell us their first name

    First name only. That's all we need.

  2. 2

    Max & Nib call them by name in the comic

    The strip on page 1 cheers them on personally.

  3. 3

    Their name and interests show up in the work

    Headers, story problems and reading questions — all about them and the things they love.

Updates the sample page. Nothing is saved or sent.

Example word problem

Ava walks ½ mile to the park in ⅙ of an hour. What is Ava’s speed in miles per hour?

We only ask for first names, and we never share them. “Ava” is just a demo name.

How it works

  1. 1

    Tell us about your kid

    Grade, where they're at in each subject, and what they're into — dinosaurs, block-building games, horses, space, soccer, you name it.

  2. 2

    We build custom packets

    Grade-level practice pitched at their real level, written around their interests, with a full answer key for you.

  3. 3

    Print, learn, laugh

    Packets arrive by email as PDFs. Print them at home, type answers on an iPad or computer with the fillable version, or write on paper — then start with the comic and get to work.

  4. 4

    See the progress

    Every week you get a short parent email, plus an attendance log and report card for that child. Upload photos of finished pages for auto-grading, or enter scores yourself — every grade stays editable.

Print it or fill it in on a tablet — every packet comes as a printable PDF and a fillable version kids can type or write on with an iPad, Android tablet or computer.

Meet Max & Nib

Max is an eager kid in a lightning-bolt hoodie. Nib is a sarcastic pencil with glasses. There’s a new strip in every packet, so every packet starts with a laugh — and the joke usually sets up a problem inside.

Four-panel comic, Max and Nib in 'The 20% Trick'. Nib: 'Good news! I raised your break time by 20%!' Max: 'Best. Pencil. EVER!' Nib: 'Now I'll cut it by 20%.' Max: 'So it's back to normal... right?' Nib: 'Nope! It's SHORTER. Don't believe me? Try #19.' Max: 'I've been ROBBED!' Max, raising a pencil: 'Teach me percents. Nobody scams me TWICE!' Nib: 'That's the spirit! Let's do this!'
From Packet 1: “The 20% Trick” — which leads straight into a percent challenge problem.
Max, a cartoon kid with spiky hair, a lightning-bolt hoodie and jeans

Max

Always ready to go. Not always ready for Nib's tricks.

Nib, a cartoon pencil with glasses and a pink eraser

Nib

Sharp, sarcastic, secretly very proud of Max.

Paying with state or school funds

Homeschool Packets is for families in every US state. How you pay depends on where you live:

  • Education savings accounts (ESAs) and similar state programs — some states let families use education funds for approved curriculum. Rules and eligible expenses vary; check your state's official handbook. Start with our ESA funding overview.
  • California independent-study / homeschool charters — many give families an instructional budget the school spends with approved vendors. Ask your charter about Homeschool Packets. Details: California charter funds guide.
  • Everywhere else — most families subscribe with a card. Plans are month to month in USD.

Our materials are nonsectarian and aligned to common US grade-level standards. Monthly report cards from graded packets can serve as work samples or progress records for your teacher or mentor. We're happy to send a product description or standards alignment for vendor approval. We do not claim approval in any state or at any school.

Ask a funding question

Why we started

Homeschool Packets started at home. James, a homeschool dad, couldn't find worksheets that fit his son — the right grade, but pitched at his level and about things he actually cared about. So he started making them, added a comic strip to make the first page fun, and kept going. Now we make them for your family too.

Questions parents ask

What grades do you serve?

We make packets for elementary and middle school. Tell us your child's grade and where they really are in each subject — ahead, on track or catching up — and we'll pitch the work to fit.

How often do packets arrive, and how?

Monthly. Each packet arrives by email as PDFs — a printable version and a fillable version kids can type into on a tablet or computer.

Are answer keys included?

Yes. Every packet comes with a full answer key for the parent, so checking work is quick.

How do I choose subjects?

Pick a plan — Single Subject ($7/month, any 1), 4-Pack ($25/month, any 4) or All Subjects ($40/month, all 8). After checkout, tell us your subject picks along with your child's grade and interests. The subjects are Math, English, Science, History & Social Studies, Spanish, Art, Coding and Life Skills.

Can packets match my kid's interests?

Yes. After checkout (or for a free sample), pick a few likes on the learner form — sports, space, animals, art, games, and more — plus anything else you want to add. We weave those into word problems, reading passages and the Max & Nib comic so every packet feels made for them.

Are packets aligned to standards?

Yes. Core subjects follow common US grade-level expectations, including Common Core-aligned math and English and NGSS-style science. We adjust the difficulty to where your child actually is.

Can I use ESA, state or charter funds?

Possibly. Some states offer education savings accounts (ESAs) or similar programs that may cover curriculum; California families in independent-study charters can ask about instructional funds. Approval and eligible expenses are up to each program or school. We're happy to send whatever information they need, and we don't claim approval anywhere.

What do you do with my child's name?

We only ask for your child's first name, so we can put it on their packets, in word problems and in the comic. We never share it or sell it, and we don't need last names, birthdays or photos.

Can I sign up more than one child?

Yes. Add each child in the learner form. Each child gets their own personalized packets at their own grade and level.

Do you work outside California / outside the US?

Yes. Homeschool Packets is for families anywhere in the US — packets are digital PDFs emailed to you, so there's no shipping. Curriculum follows common US grade-level standards. Families abroad can use the same PDFs (for example, US 7th grade is roughly UK Year 8); prices are in USD. See our homeschooling outside the US guide.

Do you send progress reports?

Yes. Every plan includes weekly parent progress emails, a per-child attendance log, and quarterly report cards (auto-filled from scores, fully editable). Upload homework photos for grading in the parent portal, or enter Score: __ / __ yourself. Charter families can attach the report card as a work sample.

Can my kid do packets on an iPad?

Yes — tablets work too. We recommend printing and writing by hand when you can, but every packet also includes a fillable PDF. Type answers in a free PDF app, or write with a stylus. Same lessons either way.

Do you include attendance records and report cards?

Yes. Every plan includes a per-child attendance log (weekly blocks + running log + year-end summary) and quarterly report cards you can edit. Upload homework photos in the parent portal for auto-grading, or fill scores by hand. See attendance & report cards and free samples.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Plans are month to month, and you can cancel anytime.
