Grade 1 Reading Worksheets

What children learn in reading in Grade 1

In Grade 1 (typically ages 6–7; equivalent to Year 1 (Australia), Year 2 (England), Class 1 (India and Pakistan)), reading work usually focuses on phonics (blends, digraphs, silent e), sight words, reading short sentences and passages and answering who, what and where questions. The exact order differs from school to school and country to country, so treat this as a guide rather than a checklist.

Below you will find every Grade 1 reading worksheet on the site, grouped by topic. Each has three printable sheets and a full answer key. For a quick review pick a topic your child already knows; for new learning, start with the first sheet in a topic and move on once the answers come easily.
