Grade 1 Language Arts Activities

Students listen to or read a story, then arrange picture cards in the correct sequence. They retell the story using the cards as prompts, focusing on beginning, middle, and end.

Students engage in activities to identify, isolate, and manipulate sounds in words. They play games focusing on initial sounds, rhyming words, and sound blending and segmentation.

Students collaborate with the teacher to compose a text. They take turns contributing to the writing, focusing on letter formation, spacing, punctuation, and spelling patterns.

Students use puppets to retell familiar stories or create their own. This activity develops oral language skills, creativity, and narrative understanding.

Students explore high-frequency words and word patterns through games and activities. They practice reading, writing, and using these words in meaningful contexts.

Students respond to texts through various activities at different centers. Options include drawing characters, creating story maps, writing simple reviews, and dramatizing scenes.
