First grade is a time for students to grow their vocabulary. Students begin to move beyond sight words for the first time spelling more complex words. By the end of first grade, your child can write and describe school, home, and the environment. You will be amazed at how much your child can spell!
At LoonyLearn, we want students to get excited about spelling through gaming. Students engage in learning through our fun spelling games made for young learners. Your child will fight pirates and use magic to spell three-letter to five-letter words. As your child plays their confidence grows and so does their spelling ability.
Our first-grade spelling word lists are meant to help your student as they begin to read more fluently. We created our lists to include similar structured words, for example, mop, hop, and top. In first grade, each of our lists also include common words. These common words appear frequently in Level 1 books and reading proficiency tests.
Here are some example first-grade lists:
| -ell Words and Common Words | -ack Words and Common Words | -i-e Words and Common Words |
|---|---|---|
| bell | back | nice |
| tell | sack | drive |
| fell | black | mine |
| sell | snack | wise |
| well | their | dime |
| go | if | five |
| could | will | lime |
| would | up | above |
