Here are lists of the spelling words for 1st grade. Also, I started with the basic weekly schedule we use for teaching
the spelling words.
Lesson 1 -
Rule: When there is a CVC combination (consonant - vowel - consonant) then
the vowel is going to use its short sound.
List:
cat win get
fun hot
hat pin set bun
not
bat fin let
sun cot
mat bin met run not
Note: In my experience with all three of my children, they had the most difficult
time distinguishing the short i and short e sounds when first putting words together. HOWEVER - for most first
graders - this list is purely a review from Kindergarten to "warm them up" for the 1st grade year. My son giggled at
his first spelling "test" but I just wanted to warm his little mind up and help him to get back into the practice of our spelling
week.
