Language Arts - 1st Grade Scope and Sequence

Language Arts -1st Grade Lesson Plans

Time4Learning is an online student-paced learning system covering preschool through middle school. It is popular as a first grade homeschool curriculum, for afterschool enrichment, for remediation, and for summer study.

The lesson plans below provide a detailed list of the language arts and language arts extensions, with brief activity descriptions and learning activity (LA) numbers. Additional resources related to first grade language arts are also provided.

Students enrolled in first grade language arts will have access to both kindergarten and second grade lessons as part of their membership, so they can move ahead or review at their own pace.

If you are just learning about Time4Learning, we'd suggest first looking at our interactive lesson demos. Members often use this page as a resource for more detailed planning, to choose specific activities using the activity finder or to compare our curriculum with state standards.

First grade language arts is organized into two large sections:

1. Language Arts - 392 Activities
2. Language Arts Extensions - 334 Activities
