Students learn to apply phonemic awareness skills to read simple three-sound words — ‘bat’, ‘hen’, ‘lock’. Simple and regularly occurring consonant digraphs — ‘ck’, ‘ll’, ‘ss’ — are introduced. The activity pages in each unit consolidate the acquisition of these basic reading skills. Blending skills are consolidated and refined as each vowel sound is introduced.

If you’re a 1st grade teacher, you know that trying to fit everything into your day can seem like an impossible task. First grade word work contains so many different skills!
There are high frequency words, phonics, phonemic awareness, spelling words and grammar. The list seems endless. Take a look at how I fit all of these skills into one easy lesson every day with our first grade word work activities.
What is word work?
We think of word work for first grade as learning about words in all different ways. Students may manipulate letters to build words, look at different phonics patterns, practice sounding out words, learn the patterns in different word families, memorize the spelling of different sight words or other high frequency words and even practice some grammar skills along the way.
Students can practice word work activities at your literacy centers, during writing instruction or independent learning time with a printable worksheet and even for homework. These are all great ideas for fitting word work into your day but we have a daily word study that combines phonics, grammar and high frequency words into one fun lesson.
First Grade Word Work Activities
Most students come to first grade with a letter/sound background. They usually recognize most of the letters and know that letters each make a specific sound. But learning to read is so much more than letters and sounds.
Students must learn that letters go together to form words. Words go together to form sentences. Sentences become paragraphs. Paragraphs go together to form a story.
In addition to all of that, students need to learn grammar rules too. Breaking this down for young children can seem daunting. Each skill builds upon the other, but where do you begin? And how do you fit everything into your day?
Fitting It All In
When I first started teaching first grade I wondered how I was ever going to fit everything into my day. I knew I needed to streamline my lessons but I didn’t want to leave anything out. All of the skills were important to teach my students how to read.
In our classroom, we use a program called the First Grade Word Study. This simple daily program is perfect for any first grade classroom, because it follows a standard first grade curriculum.
The First Grade Word Study is a year long program that contains 30 lessons. Each lesson includes 4 phonics, grammar and high frequency word activities for each week. All of the activities are contained on one slide for each day.
The slides can be projected onto your board in the front of the classroom. Using this one simple slide, your class can do a daily review of skills that include phonics, high frequency words, spelling and grammar.
First Grade Phonics
We spend about 20 minutes each day doing our first grade word work. We begin the lesson with a review of our phonics skill for the week. The phonics skills on the word study begin in Lesson 1 with simple CVC words and increase in difficulty as the year progresses. Students practice reading words and sentences out loud.
In our classroom, I call on different students to come up and read a line of words out loud. This is great practice in sounding out words and gives the teacher the opportunity to reinforce letter sounds and how we blend the letters together to make words.
First Grade High Frequency Words
Next, we practice our high frequency words for the week. The first grade word study is editable so teachers can add whatever words their class is working on for the week. During this time, students will practice reading the words out loud and we’ll compare the words to see if any of them have similar qualities. I use this time to help students notice different blends, digraphs, endings, long vowels, and other phonics strategies in their high frequency words.
Sometimes we will play games with our words like Word Wars or Around the World where students will compete to see who can read or spell the word the fastest.
First Grade Grammar
During our first grade word work activities we also learn about grammar. Each week we introduce a new grammar skill such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, preposition, pronouns and more. The students learn how to use these grammar skills in sentences. The first grade word study includes a section for us to practice grammar skills each day.
Students can come up to the board and find nouns or verbs in sentences. Sometimes they will write the missing adjective in a sentence. The skills vary from week-to-week but follow a typical scope and sequence of the introduction of grammar skills in first grade.
Word Work Games
Finally, we end the lesson with a reading or spelling game. The first grade word study has a daily game that the students love. The games are different each day and include things like Build A Man (similar to hangman but they are building a man instead), Tic Tac Toe, Read It Write It Word Jar and other games. Each game focuses on the phonics skill for that week and students look forward to playing each day.
Students Love the First Grade Word Study
My students actually look forward to our first grade word work. Each lesson is interactive, which gives the students a chance to come up and participate. Students use an expo marker to add letters to words, fill in missing words in sentences and play different word study games on our board.
I love using the word study because I can fit so many important skills into one short 20 minute lesson each day. If you use the Journeys reading series it is especially nice because it includes slides specific to that reading series. However, because it follows a typical phonics and grammar scope and sequence it works for any first grade classroom. The high frequency words are editable so teachers can add any words that they are using in their classroom.
Here’s what other teachers have to say about the First Grade Word Study
