How do I get teaching notes or at-home tips for a worksheet?
Open any worksheet you've made and build its guide — a one-page companion written for that exact worksheet. It comes in two voices: a Teaching Guide for the classroom and a Learning Guide for helping at home. You get the one that fits your account, and both carry the same four sections — notes that explain the skill, ideas to practice it, the common mistakes to watch for, and ways to support a child who's struggling. Lessonpress drafts it automatically, so treat it as a strong starting point you can adjust. It's written once and saved to the worksheet, so reopening it is instant. The guide is part of the Teacher and Pro plans.
Step by step
Open a worksheet you've made
Go to your saved worksheets and open any one. The guide is built from that worksheet's skill, grade, and questions, so it's specific to the page in front of you.
Build the guide
In the tools beside the worksheet, choose the Teaching Guide (or Learning Guide) and build it. The first time takes a few seconds while Lessonpress writes it; after that it reopens instantly.
Read the four sections
You'll get notes that explain the skill, ideas to practice it (classroom or at-home, to match your guide), the common mistakes students tend to make, and scaffolding — smaller steps and supports — for a child who's struggling. It's a draft to lean on, not gospel: skim it and adjust anything that doesn't match what you see.
Print it alongside the worksheet
Print the guide or save it as a PDF to keep with the worksheet, so your teaching notes (or at-home tips) travel with the page.
Good to know
- Verified teachers see a classroom-voiced Teaching Guide; everyone else sees a plain-language Learning Guide for a parent or tutor — the mistakes and scaffolding sections are shared.
- It's a draft you can trust as a starting point — quick to skim before you teach, easy to override where your own read differs.
- The common-mistakes section is a fast way to anticipate where a child will trip up before you start.
Common questions
What's the difference between the Teaching Guide and the Learning Guide?
Only the voice. Verified teachers get teaching notes and classroom lesson ideas; parents and tutors get plain-language notes and easy at-home ideas. Both include common misconceptions and scaffolding for a struggling child.
Is the guide specific to my worksheet?
Yes — it's written from that worksheet's skill, grade, subject, and questions, not generic advice, so the notes and ideas match the page you made. It's AI-drafted, so give it a quick read and tweak anything that doesn't fit your students before you rely on it.
Do I have to wait for it every time?
No. Lessonpress writes it once and saves it to the worksheet, so the first build takes a few seconds and every reopen after that is instant.
Who can build a guide?
It's part of the Teacher and Pro plans. Every new account gets 7 days of Pro, so you can try it before deciding.
