What grade levels are the worksheets designed for?
Grades 6-12. The reading passages come from real news articles, and the analysis and discussion questions scale naturally with student ability. Middle school students focus on comprehension; high school students dig deeper into source comparison and media literacy.
How often are new worksheets available?
A new puzzle is published every day, covering a different section. Worksheet packs pull from the most recent puzzles in each section, so the content refreshes weekly.
Are the worksheets free?
Yes. Rebusly worksheets are free for classroom use. Sign up with your email and download as many packs as you need.
Can students play the puzzles online?
Yes. Each puzzle can be played at rebusly.com. The worksheet gives students the visual and a hint, but they can also try solving it in the browser first, then complete the written exercises after.
What news sources do you use?
Each puzzle links to four curated articles from different outlets across the political spectrum. No more than two articles share the same political lean, and no two come from the same outlet. Students see how different newsrooms cover the same event.
Is there an answer key?
Yes. Each worksheet pack has a companion answer key with the puzzle solution and an explanation of how to read the visual. Available from the same download page.
