This week A Worksheet With Their Name on ItEvery Primer lesson comes with a printable worksheet, and every worksheet is written for one student. It carries their name, follows the lesson they just finished, and works in the things they care about, the same way the lesson does. Screens are good for learning. Paper is good for practice. A worksheet slows a student down, asks them to write the answer out by hand, and gives you something to look over at the kitchen table. This week is about how Primer makes them, and how to get more whenever you want. | |||
|
Made for one student When a lesson is generated, a worksheet is generated with it. Not pulled from a bank of PDFs. Look for the Make a Worksheet button on the Unplugged step of any lesson. Written from that lesson, for that student, so the vocabulary and the examples match what they just read. Each one opens with a greeting by name, then a worked example before the first question, so a student can start on their own without you sitting beside them. Below is the top of a weather worksheet made for Alex. | |||
 | |||
|
Their interests, on paper The lesson themes itself around what your student loves. The worksheet does too. A student who is into dogs and cats gets fraction problems about a pan of dog treats and a shelf of cat toys. A student who likes robots gets a robot helper in the corner. Five recent examples, from first grade phonics to a reading passage on the Declaration. | |||
|
Equivalent fractions, for Maya. Twelve problems, mixing multiple choice, fill in the blank, and two word problems built around her pets. Room to show work on every one. | |||
| |||
|
Closed syllables, for Lily. A phonics worksheet for a student who loves animals. Twelve animal words (kitten, rabbit, insect, napkin, tadpole) split into closed-syllable chunks, each question in its own color-coded box. | |||
| |||
|
Local weather patterns, for Alex. Vocabulary from the lesson (weather, pattern, observe, record, season) checked twelve ways, ending with a written sentence. Question 8 asks what tool would help Alex notice a pattern. | |||
| |||
|
What is a pyramid, for Maya. A social studies worksheet. Short answer and matching, with a camel and pyramid illustration up top to set the scene. | |||
| |||
|
The Declaration of Independence, for Alex. A reading worksheet. A short passage first, then questions that send him back to the text for the answer. The passage and the questions come from the same lesson he just finished. | |||
| |||
|
On paper or on the iPad Every worksheet is a PDF, so it works both ways. Print it and hand your student a pencil. Or open it in the Primer app on iPad and let them write on it with an Apple Pencil or their finger, no printer needed. Either way the work is done by hand, which is the point. | |||
|
An answer key, every time The last page of every worksheet is the answer key, with the reasoning written out, not just the answer. Check it yourself, or hand it to your student and let them check their own work. Whether students can see the key is a setting you control. | |||
|
Need more? Just ask your teacher Worksheets are not limited to one per lesson. Email your student’s Primer teacher at the address in your account and ask for what you need. A stack of practice for a long road trip. Three more sheets on multiplication because it is not quite sticking yet. A review of last month’s science before moving on. The teacher writes them for your student, with their name and interests, and emails them back as PDFs.
