What the Grade 1 Homework Booklet is
The Grade 1 Homework Booklet is one ready-made revision workbook that covers a Grade 1 learner's whole programme in a single document. Grade 1 is the start of formal school, so the booklet is where a child first meets structured practice — reading and writing, early number work, and learning about the world around them — all in one file, with an answer key at the back so a parent or teacher can mark at home.
Elimu Library releases a fresh booklet each holiday, and it is just as useful during the term: a teacher can set a section as homework each week, and a parent can use it to keep a young learner practising. It comes in editable Word and ready-to-print PDF, so you can print it as it is or adapt it first.
Because Grade 1 practice is still concrete and confidence-building, the tasks are short and clear, and the practice mirrors the way learners are assessed in class — so the booklet feels familiar rather than daunting.
What the booklet covers
The Grade 1 booklet brings the learner's whole grade together in one file: literacy and language work (including English and Kiswahili), Mathematics, and the environmental and creative activities that make up the rest of the Grade 1 programme — followed by an answer key so an adult can check every section. It is a single all-subject file, which means one download and one document to print rather than a stack of separate sheets.
For a parent, it is the simplest way to give a child a full stretch of guided practice; for a teacher, it is a complete set of editable homework in one file.
Who this booklet is for
Parents and guardians get one download covering everything a Grade 1 child is learning, plus an answer key so they can help and mark at home without needing to be a subject expert.
Lower-primary teachers get a complete, editable homework and revision set in a single file — Word as well as PDF — so you can add your school details, adjust the tasks, or send home just the sections you want.
Trainee teachers and education students get a clear worked example of how early-grade practice and continuous assessment are structured under the CBC — useful when learning how homework and revision are built at the foundational level.
Anyone downloading on someone's behalf — a cyber café operator or school office assistant fetching a file for a parent — can be sure of the right document: it is labelled clearly for Grade 1 and is one complete all-subject booklet.
