- Lessons are short at four pages each, except for the periodic reviews which generally have a couple more pages
- Lessons begin with a vocabulary list, a chant, and then a discussion/explanation of the target concept
- The last two pages hold a variety of short exercises practicing the grammar concept using the vocabulary words
- Primers B and C build on the skills learned in Primer A, progressing through more vocabulary words and more advanced grammatical concepts
