Printable First Grade Worksheets
Practice Makes Perfect

You'll love our ad-free PDF first grade worksheets because they offer concept practice three times each.

So many times, children simply need some old fashioned review and practice. Jump down to these first grade printable worksheets:

1. First Grade Math
2. First Grade Reading
3. First Grade Spelling
4. First Grade Writing

Our First Grade worksheets are free printable worksheets that you can use to teach the basics or reinforce what your child has learned at school or in a home school curriculum.

First Grade Print And Practice

Practice is key here. Our practice worksheets for First Grade include free printable worksheets with lovely elementary themes. You can go to other grades and subjects for more practice worksheets for slower or faster students.

This is where we link our main or new First Grade printables. 

First Grade is one of those years when many children "catch up". They mature and they "catch on" to what they may have been hearing and practicing for years. Be encouraged to offer review.

Even though printing these worksheets for your first graders is usually better for them to learn, all our worksheets are interactive. This means that you could copy these to your children's files for them to finish on the computer. Saves ink and paper. Bonus!

1. First Grade Math Worksheets

Our first grade math worksheets have space for your students to copy the equations for all twelve tables three times for each equation. They cover counting and skip counting.

They also cover addition and subtraction with pictures of blocks, reference sheets for the addition and subtraction tables, and the ways to make a number. There are skill builders for all of the above and also for showing the relation between addition and subtraction.

• Counting is first. 10. 20. 100.
• Addition is fast counting and subtraction undoes it.
• Practice plenty. Flash cards. Worksheets. Videos.
• If your students say what they write they'll learn it better.
• Repetition brings automaticity! Say it! Write it! Repeat it!

• Number Writing Worksheets
• Color By number Worksheets
• Money Worksheets
• Addition Worksheets and Flash Cards

Phonics For Teaching First Grade Reading

I cannot express to you how helpful honest phonics has been in teaching our children to read.

The bright children quickly learn to read.

The slower children do not have to wade through unrelated fluff.

When should you teach phonics? The sooner the better. 

How quickly should you move? Faster than you think. If you go too fast you'll see the results. Simply circle back.

Sometimes it is hard for teachers and parents to set aside time to drill individual children with the practice that they need. Use our first grade worksheets, flash cards, and videos to fill in the gaps where you need help.

This is true for our first grade phonics worksheets. When you are teaching a particular sound like "wh" or "th" you can print our matching worksheets for words to practice those sounds.

Saying the facts out loud further reinforces the learning and cuts the time necessary to learn the facts.

Writing Selections For Reading Improvement

• Our reading worksheets may be used by the teacher to read to the students or by the students for reading comprehension.
• If the teacher reads the story, you can get an idea of the child's listening comprehension by the details in the picture he draws.
• We would not put too much emphasis on having a work of art. The idea is to enjoy the story and "tell it back", not to produce a meticulous work of art.
• If you find that this is frustrating and not fun, talk about the story and suggest ideas to put down on paper – or suggest shapes with which to begin.
• The first grade reading worksheets have room for drawing and/or coloring the main ideas. 
• You can use them to read to those students who are not quite able to read this level for listening comprehension exercises.
• You can use these kids nursery rhymes for these activities. They are included in our Child's Garden of Verses bundle.
