    There're thousands of printables with each 50+ pages. Does anyone know if these can be bought instead cause printing this much isn't possible for me personally. Very useful resource anyway, I'd be happy to purchase a subscription even once it e xpires, thanks for sharing.

      Officeworks printing is 8¢ which is potentially cheaper than running a home inkjet.

            @michaelpls: do some cost page calculations with some of the brother models and it's pretty cheap in mono, like 3 cents a page. Even cheaper if you use 3rd party toner. I have an old MFC-8860DN and I gt cost down around a cent a page from memory when I did the calc. Ripper old printer too, last for ever, double sided scan and doublesided print. They were a beast. The new cheap printer box (the size of 2 shoe boxes side by side. They are pretty cheap to buy and run. Plus you can recycle the paper when the kiddies are done with it too and if you really want you can use recycled paper to start with too.

      Reading eggs had workbooks for sale - but they are sold out until May.

      Same with a lot of online bookstores in Australia.
      office works doesn't have a lot of books in stock as well.

      Bought some Kumon books from Boomerang books. It was a pretty thick compilation of toddler workbooks for around $20. It depends on the age of your kids.

      Got some from Amazon and Bookdepository (which is owned by Amazon now).

    • tinyorca on 14/04/2020 - 22:11

      You can always look at them on the computer - the kids could look at the spreadsheets and write answers on Word and then save them. My kids have email addresses now so I can email these to them!

    Hey this is great! Thanks for sharing. A lot of this is Imperial measurements, even units on spelling, grammar, seasons etc can all be North American. So be careful guys

      Pre-K probably aren’t going to run into too much spelling and unit content, but agree the K and 1 age groups might get confused - the word ‘colour’ is probably one of the first ‘big words’ that they’ll learn.

      It would be great if services like this had a locale filter though. I sometimes wish Audible had a dialect filter too, but that’s getting a bit petty (I’d hate hearing Roald Dahl in an American accent… I much prefer my audiobooks in Polish Cleaner dialect).

      working on a way of getting all pdfs downloaded via script. Unfortunately the pdfs are named numerically so you'd have to search for key words once they are all downloaded.

      • seboya on 14/04/2020 - 12:32

        Let us know how you go!

      • karseeeejaaaa on 14/04/2020 - 15:06

        I started looking and got interested in Leveled Learning Collections. Each collection has activities / exercises split as per students' capability - At Par, Above, Below.

        While downloading, I could see a pattern in file names / location.

        https://teachables.scholastic.com/content/dam/scholastic/tea…
        https://teachables.scholastic.com/content/dam/scholastic/tea… - Is fixed for all
        LLC_227 - Is the name of the file

        Hope this helps you in your script.

      • phoxymoron on 16/04/2020 - 02:04
        +2

        If you're scripting this try something like:

        https://teachables.scholastic.com/bin/scholastic/teachers/ecommerce/common-search.json?appType=teachables&filters=((Grade_ss:(%221%22)))&isSSO=false&iscached=false&rows=120&siteID=teachables-ecomm-data&start=120

        That will get you 120 database results per query including heaps of metadata, URL of the PDF, etc. With that it should be fairly straightforward to download and name the PDFs based on their title (or anything other bit of metadata you like).

        The start= is the index to start at - in this example we are searching for results 120-239.

        • MellowScan on 17/04/2020 - 08:31

          Can we have a scripting for dummies version of this please?

          • phoxymoron on 17/04/2020 - 19:41
            +2

            @MellowScan: Unfortunately I don't have the time (or the skills) to produce good clean code that I'd be comfortable sharing, but I can provide a rough starting point that might help you hack something together. No doubt this will make some web developers cry or pipe up with good code. Hopefully both.

            1. Sign into the page with your browser to generate your session cookie.
            2. Bring up the developer console (F12) and switch to the 'network' tab.
            3. Perform an example search e.g. 'grade 1'
            4. Under the list of URLs retrieved (shown in the developer console) find the one that starts common-search.json… it should be near the top.
            5. Right click it > Copy > Copy as PowerShell (or whatever your preferred scripting tool).

            6. You've now got on your clipboard code that will retrieve your search results in json format. You can clean up the search query to remove some of the cruft like the 'recommended' results.

            7. (basic powershell example):
              $response = <paste your cleaned up code beginning Invoke-WebRequest blahblahblah>
              $content = ConvertFrom-Json $response.content (convert the json to a powershell array)
              $content.solrDocumentList (this will return all the 'teachables' in your results with full metadata)
              $content.solrDocumentList.PdpDoc_s (this will return just the download URLs)
              $content.total (this will return the total number of matching search results)

            8. As I indicated above add &start=x to your query to return search results starting at x. It looks like they have limited their search engine to return maximum 120 results per query, so don't expect rows=10000 to get 10000 results at once.

            I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to work out how to dynamically build and invoke the requests to work through the full list of search results, though I'm sure many will just go nuts copy/pasting/tweaking.

          I put a few of the pdf links into 'Free Download Manager' and it worked for me, but I can reproduce your experience - pasting the URL directly into a browser takes you to the description page for that teachable.

          I'm guessing their website is looking for particular headers in the request that you'll need to 'recreate' in your download script. I'd use the same trick to watch the network requests via developer tools to see if you can spot what's different between a request that gets you the html page and one that gets you the PDF.

          • coriqt on 20/04/2020 - 08:56

            @phoxymoron: Thank you i'll try the download manager method. My guess is there's a unique cookie for each request.
