The year reading takes off
First grade is a year of huge growth, especially in reading. Kids blend short vowel words, learn digraphs like sh and ch, add blends and silent e, and build a bank of sight words. In math, they add and subtract within 20 using strategies like making ten: 8 + 5 = 8 + 2 + 3 = 13. They learn tens and ones, count to 120, tell time to the half hour and measure length. In writing, kids put together complete sentences with capitals and end marks. The best moment is when a 1st grader reads their first whole book aloud to you!
First graders learn best with hands-on practice and lots of quick, happy repetition.
Have kids bundle straws or craft sticks into groups of ten with rubber bands. Show 34 as 3 bundles and 4 loose sticks, then fill in the counting tens and ones page. Kids see why the 3 means thirty.
Why it works: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.

Most 1st graders can read simple books, decode short vowel words and blends, read many sight words, add and subtract within 20, count to 120 and write complete sentences.
Many schools aim for about 100 high-frequency words, often the first 100 Fry words. Every school's list is a little different.
Read together every day, let your child read easy books to you, and practice sounding out words. Five minutes of sight word practice helps too.
They learn counting on, making ten, doubles and using number lines. These strategies help kids add and subtract within 20 without counting on fingers.
