About These 1st Grade Phonics Worksheets

These printable phonics worksheets were created by an educator with a Bachelor's in Elementary Education, certification in two states, and PK-5 classroom experience. Reading is the gateway to every other subject; students who read confidently by the end of third grade are far more likely to stay on grade level.

First graders move from recognizing letters and numbers to using them — reading simple sentences, adding and subtracting within 20, and writing short responses. They benefit from worksheets that scaffold a skill step by step.
