Welcome to our free printable first grade worksheets collection, gathered for children who have finished kindergarten and are ready for bigger steps. Every set below is a free PDF you can print at home or in the classroom, with no signup and no cost, ever.
First graders count with confidence, begin adding and subtracting, and start reading short words on their own. The sets below follow that path, from counting and number work to first phonics and word skills, each one naming exactly what it practices.
What First Graders Practice on This Page
Number work leads this collection, because first grade maths builds on counting to 20 and beyond, writing numerals neatly, and understanding what each number means. The addition and subtraction sets then turn that understanding into real calculations with pictures to count. The word sets grow reading alongside the maths, blending CVC words and hearing rhymes, and the All About Me set stays a first week of school favourite at this age too.
For younger children, our kindergarten worksheets collection covers the step before this one, with the same sets arranged for children who are still in kindergarten.
How to Use These First Grade Worksheets
Short daily practice works better than long sessions. Print one sheet, sit together for the first try, then let your child work alone and check it together afterwards. Mix a maths sheet and a word sheet across the week so both skills keep growing together.
