Reading certificate maker

An award for every step of learning to read

Print a certificate for a reading step: knowing the letter sounds, sounding out words, reading sight words, reading a whole book, or reading every day. Type the name, or a class list with one name on each line. You can also type your own award.

How to make your worksheet

  1. Pick the award, or choose “Type your own award”.
  2. Type the name. For a class, type one name on each line.
  3. Choose one big certificate on a page, or two smaller ones.
  4. Print, write the date, and sign it.

Name the step

An award that says what was learned means more than “good job”. It tells a child what the hard work was for.

When to give one

Give it when the step is really done: every letter sound said without help, or a book read from start to end.

Names stay on your device

The names are drawn on your own computer or phone. They are not sent to us and not saved.
