Super Teacher Worksheets (A REVIEW)

Disclosure: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way.

I have a really great resource to share with you today! I discovered Super Teacher Worksheets a few years ago when I reviewed them for the first time. I haven't stopped using them since then! When that free subscription ran out, I paid for another year. Now they have offered for us to review them again through the Review Crew and I am super happy to share about this great resource once more!

The Super Teacher Worksheets website.

I have to admit my first glance at a whole website of worksheets made me a little unsure, but these are some well put together worksheets that can be used in so many ways. I love how creative and simple these worksheets are. All you need is a good printer because there are thousands upon thousands of great worksheets to choose from, and they are accessible from anywhere there is an internet connection! There is something for every subject including math, science, reading, spelling, phonics, social studies, and more, and they have something for kids clear up through 6 and 7th grade. I will touch on just a few of the subjects we used.

Spelling:

I really love their spelling units. I decided to start my 4th grader at the beginning of the 4th-grade level spelling unit at Super Teacher Worksheets as that will be his spelling for this coming school year. There are so many activities and worksheets within a spelling unit. I printed them all up so they would be ready to go as we worked through them. Some of the activities include flashcards (pictured above), alphabetical order, fix the misspelled word, sentences, crossword, word find, writing the word twice, and a test. There are a lot of great activities to choose from within a spelling unit.

It's summer, so I decided to introduce Alex's new spelling worksheets to him in a creative way, the pool! Even though these are "worksheets," they can be used in so many different and fun ways. Take his spelling list for example. Rather than simply going over the words with him, I wrote the words down on pool rings and had him find them in the pool. Once he found them he practiced spelling it out to me. Once the spelling list was introduced and he reviewed the words he was ready to work on the worksheets.

Science:

Science Worksheets: Human Body Scavenger Hunt

The science worksheets at Super Teacher Worksheets are just phenomenal. I have used many of the science worksheets, but my favorites are these scavenger hunts. These are a great way to get kids moving around while learning. The kids love these worksheets too because they can walk around and work together or separately.

The part of the scavenger hunt that the kids fill out with a clue to where the first fact card is.
To complete a scavenger hunt there must first be a lot of cutting and hiding. The teacher cuts out the fact cards, laminates (optional), and then has to disperse them throughout the classroom or home for the student to find. I took it a step further this time and gave them clues to where they were hidden because I wanted a little more challenge for my boys. But, it also works to just "hide" them around the room for the kids to randomly find.

Cutting out the fact cards for the scavenger hunt takes a little time, but so worth it!
When it's all ready the kids take their paper on a clipboard and go around finding the fact cards. They can write the answers as they go along.

Sometimes they just like to go find the fact cards and bring them back to the table. This works if there aren't any more students needing to find them.

I had both my 4th and 7th graders work on this scavenger hunt separately. They both had a good time, and I think they learned a lot about the human body without even realizing it!

I chose to laminate the fact cards this time so that I could keep them around and let the kids flip through them on their own to review the facts they learned. I just used a ring to bind them together.

Math is another subject we use Super Teacher Worksheets for a lot. I just love their math worksheets! There are so many great math worksheets to choose from, and most of them are super simple and fun.

There are so many math concepts covered at Super Teacher Worksheets that it could be used as a supplement for kids even up through middle school. I had my 7th grader work on this Math Puzzle Picture to build his multiplication skills.

Seasonal/themed worksheets:

One of the best times to use worksheets is when things are busy and you just feel like you aren't getting a lot of "school" done. Super Teacher Worksheets has a lot of great themed and seasonal worksheets too. They have worksheets to go with holidays such as Christmas or Halloween. They have worksheets to go with the seasons such as the "summertime scramble" worksheet pictured above. This summer has been busy, but I like to keep my kids' learning going, and being able to just print up an activity where they take the word "summertime" and find new words is great. It's simple and gives them a little challenge.

As you can see I really love Super Teacher Worksheets. It's a really nice resource for both supplements and for those days when you just can't get much else on the table as far as school goes. There are so many fun worksheets to choose from, go check it out! If you'd like to see what other Review Crew members had to say about Super Teacher Worksheets, click on the banner below!
