14 Effective & Fun First Grade ELA Worksheets & Literacy Centers

Planning and implementing literacy activities for each day of the month takes a lot of work. Teachers always look for ways to take First Grade ELA planning off their plates. Monthly literacy centers, worksheets, and mini-readers will save the day! These printable resources will free up your time so you can focus on the kids.

First Grade ELA -header

Best Practices for Teaching First Grade ELA Standards

First grade ELA standards include covering phonics, phonemic awareness, grammar, sentence writing, reading fluency, and comprehension. These are just some of the standards touched on!

There’s a lot to cover, and it can get overwhelming. Luckily for you, these monthly literacy activities will help!

Table of contents

First-grade standards kids need to know, when to teach first grade ela standards, how to teach first grade ela skills, activities to teach 1st grade ela standards, free literacy worksheets to try, more first grade ela ideas & activities.

Picture this: Each reporting period, you have a lengthy list of standards to cover before report cards go home. You’re stressing over how you will teach everything to the kids in time.

Yup! Been there, done that!

The monthly literacy centers and worksheets I will introduce in this post have everything you need to cover all of the standards. Everything is already mapped out for you, so you just print and use it in your centers, as morning work , in small groups, or as you see fit.

Picture this: You have already created your lesson plans and taught the prescribed ELA material, but some students aren’t grasping the concepts. You need something to help reinforce each skill, but they’re tired of the same materials.

Try something new!

These monthly literacy activities have differentiated worksheets and printables to make things exciting and student-centered. The consistency of the resources will help students complete their work independently, but the scaffolded topics will allow them to be challenged each month as they practice and build new skills in fun ways.

First Grade ELA -bundle

Around the world, first grade literacy standards are very similar. While they might differ slightly, the basic premise is pretty much the same.

Here is a brief list of first grade literacy standards you must most likely cover in the classroom!

General ELA Skills

  • Ask and answer questions about key details in a text.
  • Retell stories, including key details, and demonstrate understanding of their central message or lesson.
  • Describe characters, settings, and major story events using key details.
  • Use illustrations and details in a story to describe its characters, setting, or events.
  • Compare and contrast the adventures and experiences of characters in stories.

Reading: Foundational Skills

  • Recognize the distinguishing features of a sentence (e.g., first word, capitalization, ending punctuation).
  • Demonstrate understanding of spoken words, syllables, and sounds (phonemes).
  • Distinguish long from short vowel sounds in spoken single-syllable words.
  • Orally produce single-syllable words by blending sounds (phonemes), including consonant blends.
  • Isolate and pronounce initial, medial vowel, and final sounds (phonemes) in spoken single-syllable words.
  • Segment spoken single-syllable words into their complete sequence of individual sounds (phonemes).
  • Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words.
  • Recognize and read grade-appropriate irregularly spelled words.
  • Read with sufficient accuracy and fluency to support comprehension.
  • Write opinion pieces that introduce the topic or name the book they are writing about, state an opinion, supply a reason for the opinion, and provide some sense of closure.
  • Write informative/explanatory texts in which they name a topic, supply some facts about the topic, and provide some sense of closure.
  • Write narratives in which they recount two or more appropriately sequenced events, include details regarding what happened, use temporal words to signal event order, and provide some sense of closure.
  • Use conventional spelling for words with common spelling patterns and for frequently occurring irregular words.
  • Spell untaught words phonetically, drawing on phonemic awareness and spelling conventions.
  • Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words and phrases based on grade 1 reading and content, choosing flexibly from various strategies.
  • Use sentence-level context as a clue to the meaning of a word or phrase.
  • Define words by category and by one or more key attributes (e.g., a duck is a bird that swims; a tiger is a large cat with stripes).
  • Identify real-life connections between words and their use (e.g., note places at home that are cozy).
  • Distinguish shades of meaning among verbs differing in manner (e.g., look, peek, glance, stare, glare, scowl) and adjectives differing in intensity (e.g., large, gigantic) by defining or choosing them or acting out the meanings.

Please keep in mind that this is not an exhaustive list. There are plenty more standards that these cross over with and more that build from these foundational skills.

First Grade ELA kids actually enjoy

Literacy standards should be taught during all literacy blocks. Whether you are teaching a whole group lesson or working on a specific skill with a small group of children, you should focus on standards covered in the grade.

One of the easiest (and most fun) ways to teach standards is to incorporate them into activities. These activities can be completed independently, as a small group, and even in a whole group setting.

Begin by teaching a skill in a whole group setting over the course of a week or more. Then, reinforce the skill by working one-on-one with students at your teacher’s table or in small groups. Use mini readers, worksheets, short passages, and fun games to encourage them as they dive into the skill.

Next, add the skill into activities they can complete independently or with a partner. These can be literacy center worksheets, games, morning work , exit tickets, or early finisher activities . The key to teaching ELA skills is offering them to students in various ways and differentiating them based on necessity and skill level.

Do you want activities that are meaningful, standards-based, and planned for you each month? With this monthly bundle of First Grade Literacy Activities , you can simply print and use it in the classroom. No extra planning is needed!

This is what you will find in each month.

1st Grade Common Core Worksheets

The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English Language Arts (ELA) provide a framework of educational expectations for students in reading, writing, and other language skills. The goals of the CCSS ELA are broken out by grade and subject area, including Reading: Literature, Reading: Informational Text, Foundational Skills, Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Language. First graders can meet some of these learning goals with adult support and are expected to master the basics of the early stages of reading fiction and non-fiction books, learn writing and language basics, and learn to listen and speak in a group setting. See the subheadings for each ELA category for more information on the specific expectations for students.

For Earth Day, Try These Green Classroom Activities (Downloadable)

  • Share article

Earth Day is April 22 in the United States and the day the spring equinox occurs in some parts of the world. It’s a day to reflect on the work being done to raise awareness of climate change and the need to protect natural resources for future generations. Protecting the earth can feel like an enormous, distant undertaking to young people. To help them understand that they can play a role by focusing on their backyards or school yards, educators can scale those feelings of enormity to manageable activities that make a difference.

We collected simple ideas for teachers and students to educate, empower, and build a connection with nature so that they may be inspired to respect it and protect it. Classrooms can be the perfect greenhouse to grow future stewards of the environment.
