This paper sought to determine the role that Arabic language teachers can play in using supportive worksheets to compensate for lost learning among elementary students in Jordan from their point of view. A tool for the study-a questionnaire comprising 21 items-was prepared for this purpose, and its validity and reliability were checked. The sample included 501 Arabic language teachers who work in public schools in Amman. The results indicated that the Arabic language teachers estimated their role in using supportive worksheets to make up for the learning loss among the elementary students in Jordan at high degrees. It also indicated that there were no statistically significant differences in the assessment of the teacher's role based on gender, qualification, or years of teaching experience. In the light of the results, the study recommended a number of activities such as holding workshops and seminars that raise the awareness of the Arabic language teachers about the necessity of diversification and the use of different teaching means that contribute to developing the abilities of the Arabic language for the elementary stage students.
