Grade 1 gradeELA subjectFree quiz

First-grade spelling focuses on short vowels, consonant blends, and common patterns such as CVC words and silent-e pairs. Students hear each sound in a word, match it to a letter, and check whether a word looks like cat, ship, or cake. The work is encoding sounds, not copying a list from memory only.

What you practice

These are the Grade 1 Spelling skills this quiz is built around.

  • Spell short-vowel CVC words such as map, bed, and sun.
  • Use blends and digraphs such as st, sh, and ch at the start or end of a word.
  • Mark a long vowel with a silent e, as in cap versus cape.

A useful tip

Tap one finger for each sound before you write. Ship has three sounds, /sh/ /i/ /p/, even though it has four letters. Counting sounds stops extra vowels from sneaking in.
