A well-designed primer carefully leads the student through the process of language learning, starting with common letters and words, and building from there. But what letters and words should you start with? In which order should you add new letters? Traditionally you might count the letters and words by hand from a series of sample texts, and perform some calculations to guide you in those decisions. But there is a better way!
PrimerPrep allows you to load sample text files in the language, and can immediately show you the “optimal” teaching order as well as all of the words (from your texts) that are available for each lesson. You can literally have useful results in under a minute. But there are also numerous options for fine-tuning your results, including identifying word-break characters, digraphs, and affixes, and excluding specific words or affixes from the analysis. You can also easily change the teaching order by just dragging and dropping the letters, and all of the words available are immediately recalculated.
