Reading and writing open doors to every other subject - and Grade 1 is where that journey begins. Our English worksheets help first graders recognize letters, sound out words, and write their very first sentences. With bright illustrations and relatable themes, each page invites young readers to fall in love with language.

Example Questions

1. Fill in the missing letter: c_t (hint: it purrs!)

3. Write one sentence about your best friend. Don't forget the capital letter!

How to Use These Worksheets

Start with the alphabet sheets if your child is still learning letters, then move to phonics and sight words. Read each instruction aloud at first. Once they can read independently, step back and let them lead. Fifteen minutes a day is plenty - short and sweet keeps the spark alive.
