Questions about Use the New Word

What does the Use the New Word worksheet cover?

It practises putting a new word into a sentence of your own — 6 questions for Kindergarten, all on Common Core L.K.6: Use the new words you have met in books and conversations. The instruction to pupils is “Finish each sentence”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.

Which Common Core standard does Use the New Word practise?

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.K.6 — L.K.6, in the Language domain for Kindergarten. The published standard reads: “Use words and phrases acquired through conversations, reading and being read to, and responding to texts.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.

What age or grade is this worksheet for?

Use the New Word is written for Kindergarten, typically ages 5-6. It is one of the sheets on L.K.6, so it suits any pupil working at that standard — including older pupils revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.

Does Use the New Word come with an answer key?

Yes. All 6 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.

How many different versions of Use the New Word can I print?

25 — one per pupil, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.

Is Use the New Word free to print and photocopy?

Yes. Use the New Word, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.

Is there a lesson plan to teach L.K.6?
