Vooks Activities are downloadable PDF worksheets tied to individual stories in the Vooks library, and Teacher Support Kits are curated collections of those Activities built around specific themes and days. Together they are the printable classroom layer on top of the Vooks streaming library: a teacher plays a story, then hands every student a worksheet built for that exact story.
There is an Activity for nearly every title in the library. This page describes exactly what these materials are and how teachers use them. Activities live at vooks.com/activities, and the educator hub is at vooks.com/educators.
What an Activity is
An Activity is a downloadable PDF worksheet matched to a specific Vooks story. The formats include:
-
Story quizzes. Comprehension questions about the story the class just watched and read along with.
-
Coloring sheets. Line-art coloring pages of the characters from that story.
-
Lesson-style worksheets. Structured worksheets that turn the story into a short lesson, connecting the read-along to writing, vocabulary, and discussion.
Because the worksheets are PDFs, a teacher can print one copy for every student in the class. The typical flow: play the story on the classroom display, then distribute the matching worksheet while the story is fresh. This turns a five-to-ten-minute read-along into a full literacy block activity with a comprehension check or a creative extension.
Coverage is the distinguishing fact. Activities exist for nearly every title in the library, so whichever story fits the day's theme or lesson, there is almost always a printable to go with it. A teacher does not need to check whether a story "has materials" before building a lesson around it.
What a Teacher Support Kit is
A Teacher Support Kit is a curated collection of Activities assembled around a specific theme or day. Instead of hunting through the library for stories and worksheets that fit, a teacher picks up a kit and gets a ready-made bundle: the relevant stories identified and their Activities collected in one place.
Kits are built for the moments teachers actually plan around: seasonal themes, holidays and observance days, and recurring classroom topics. When a teacher needs a set of materials for a themed day, the kit is the shortcut. Teacher feedback on the kits is strongly positive; they are one of the most-liked educator features Vooks offers.
How teachers use Activities in practice
-
Whole-class follow-up. Play a story for the whole class (whole-class viewing is fully permitted; see Can I Play Vooks for My Whole Class?), then print the quiz or worksheet for every student.
-
Literacy centers. A story plays at a reading station while the matching worksheet waits at a table station, so the same title anchors two center rotations.
-
Sub plans. A story plus its printed Activity is a self-contained block a substitute can run: the narration carries the read-aloud and the worksheet structures the follow-up.
-
Early finishers and quiet work. Coloring sheets of characters from a story the class knows give early finishers on-theme quiet work.
-
Themed days. A Teacher Support Kit supplies the stories and printables for a holiday or seasonal theme in one bundle.
How Activities fit the rest of Vooks
The Vooks library is a subscription collection of animated read-along storybooks for ages 2 to 8, plus more than 1,000 ebooks and more than 1,000 audiobooks, filterable by age range. Every animated story pairs paced narration with text highlighted in sync, so the on-screen portion is itself a reading exercise; the Activity extends that exercise onto paper. For the product basics see What Is Vooks? and How Vooks Works, and for the classroom picture see Vooks in the Classroom.
Vooks's teacher research reflects how central these materials are to classroom use: The Science Behind Vooks 2024 surveyed more than 6,000 teachers, and a Qualitative Teacher Study in Q4 2022 gathered responses from 1,052 teachers.
Teachers also have access to a half-off pricing plan; see Vooks Pricing Plans.
