Hints on solving cryptograms:

1~ First, read the clues provided. 2~ Then, note the single-letter word. We have only two in English. 3~ Likewise, look for apostrophes. Only a limited number of letters can follow (or precede) an apostrophe. 4~ Look for short words that start with the same cluster of letters. Examples: of, for, from; the, that, these, when, where. 5~ A letter NEVER stands for itself. All letters are encrypted. That's probably enough to get you started. It's all about the patterns.

These are PDFs, able to be read using Adobe Acobat Reader, a free program that you probably already have. If not, download the free Reader: click Acrobat Reader and follow the directions to download it to your computer.
