Chart Jungle
I used to love all kinds of printables. Especially ones I could use for homeschooling record keeping. At Chart Jungle you'll find plenty of those plus all kinds of things to print if you are a teacher in a public or private school. You can even print out diplomas appropriate to each grade in school.
Of course, if you're like me you'll wind up looking at and printing more things than 20 homeschool families could possibly use. I was always a little OCD about such things. So much so, that I wound up with entirely unused printables after the school years were finally over. It was hard for me to throw out all those great worksheets and charts, but I just didn't need them. So, control yourself!
Of course, if you can't and the urge to click on and print more and more takes over, then click here to see best sleeping pills. Maybe a couple of good night's sleep will help you regain your sanity.

Free worksheets - reading comprehension
One of the first places I found free worksheets for reading comprehension on the web was RHLSchool. This site has been around a long time and they have added lots of great stuff to it besides the reading. The reading worksheets go back to 1997!
Now they also have math, English, and research lessons and worksheets available. I remember using them as time went by, and the children really enjoyed the worksheets I got here. You can rest assured that you, the parent, will also have the answer keys available for all the worksheets as well.
The reading comprehension worksheets include a story to read and questions to answer.
I used this site way back when I didn't actually have internet myself. My grown daughter would print off the worksheets for my kids to use.

Free worksheets - grammar
I used to get the emails from Daily Grammar and used those lessons almost exclusively for my children's English Grammar lessons. They aren't available as emails anymore but you can actually still download and print them from the archives on the Daily Grammar site.
There are 440 lessons available completely for free. Also available for a reasonable cost are a workbook and a lessons ebook.
Whatever you choose from this site, I think you'll be happy with the very complete information. While some of the free lessons could be useful for younger children, middle school grades or upper elementary, I found that the lessons were actually well suited for children right up through high school.

RHL School
This was a HUGE favorite of mine when we were homeschooling.
RHL School has loads of free worksheets that cover English, Math, Reading, and Research. They also give you all the answer keys to make correcting and grading easier.
I used these worksheets as bases for many of our lessons and I think you can, too. I also used them for times when we were in the car a lot. I could give the children some worksheets, a pencil, and a clipboard and they could work on them while we were going down the road.
