Start with a word or sentence skill
This page groups the published 1st grade grammar skills. Students can identify nouns and pronouns, match a verb to a singular or plural noun, use simple verb tenses, and practice conjunctions, determiners and prepositions. The sentence pages focus on complete simple sentences and short compound sentences.
Choose the skill that matches the lesson. For example, practice common, proper and possessive nouns to tell an everyday noun from a name or ownership form. Open simple and compound sentences to work with complete thoughts and joined ideas. Each skill page describes its focus and lists its available multiple-choice quizzes.
Keep the practice tied to a sentence
After a quiz question, ask the student to point to the word or clue that supports the answer. A noun can name a person, place or thing; a verb tells what happens. Read the full sentence before deciding what a word does. For additional examples in connected text, browse 1st grade reading passages.
