In grade 1, kids start to learn how to spell words. Spelling is an important part in students' "learning to read" journey, along with understanding the meaning of words (vocabulary) and reading comprehension.
Most students find learning to spell a bit monotonous. Often, they are given lists of words to practice and asked to rewrite the words over and over until mastered. We’ve tried to alleviate this monotony with a series of free grade 1 spelling worksheets, and we have further expanded those exercise into more spelling words in our grade 1 spelling workbook.
Let us show you the different kinds of spelling worksheets available for you to print and use at no cost:
Trace and write spelling words
As grade 1 students are just starting to learn to spell, we start gently with these trace and print words worksheets.
Circle the correctly spelled word
Next come a more challenging set of worksheets, where students are asked to recognize the word that is correctly spelled in a group of three words with slightly different spelling.
Fill in the missing letters
In these worksheets, the words are missing one letter. Students have to write the missing letter to complete the word.
Complete the word shapes
In this last set of worksheets, students are given a list of words and asked to fit each word into the correct series of shaped boxes.
