Going from kindergarten to the first grade is a big transition for students and parents alike. A first grade education builds on what a child has learned in kindergarten and sets the stage for future learning. Time4Learning’s homeschool first grade curriculum and lesson plans will empower you to reach your learning objectives for the year. Our corresponding lesson plans will help your family stay on track throughout your homeschool journey.

What Do First Graders Learn?

First grade students are expected to have an understanding and knowledge of basic skills in language arts, math, science, and social studies. This will help them expand on those skills and gain new ones quickly and easily.

Below are some of the skills and concepts that a first grade student will typically learn:

  • Become an independent reader, improve their phonics, phonemic awareness, and comprehension
  • Grammar skills including capitalization and punctuation
  • Handwriting skills, writing their name as well as simple words and sentences
  • Math skills such as adding and subtracting, identifying patterns and shapes
  • How to make scientific observations and record these in writing, pictures and/or graphs
  • Symbols that represent the U.S.
  • Important figures and events in U.S. history
  • The difference between living and nonliving things
  • The importance of the sun in relation to Earth and living things

The Time4Learning first grade lesson plans pages can help you gain an understanding of what a first grade education should include.

What to Look for in a First Grade Homeschool Curriculum

Most first graders are about five or six years old and seeking independence as they explore the world around them, but they need help with some tasks.

  • Does the curriculum make learning fun and keep children engaged?
  • Is the material taught in a clear way using real-world examples?
  • Does it include reporting tools that make tracking progress easy?
  • Are there plenty of opportunities for children to reinforce skills?
