Day-by-Day Planner Workbooks are available in print format for grades K-8.

Some teachers prefer the print version to the digital version, and others want the CD-ROM version on their computer and the print version on their desk. Both versions contain information about pacing and interfacing topics in all the Core Knowledge subjects: language arts, literature, history and geography, math, science, music, and the visual arts. There is room in both to add subjects not covered — foreign languages, technology, and physical education. Best of all, both have room for incorporating and aligning state and local standards.
