Printable 1st grade worksheets
Six and seven: sums that cross ten, sentences that a child can decode on their own, and the ⅝-inch ruling that most of elementary school is written on. The work stops being letters and starts being lines of them.

Where to start
Three worth printing this week, out of everything below.
- Handwriting paper — ⅝ inch — ⅝ of an inch, dashed midline: the size most of Grade 1 is written at.
- 2-digit addition with regrouping — Carrying, set in columns with room above the sum for the digit.
- Decodable sentences — Sentences with nothing untaught in them, so there is nothing to guess.
Everything for ages 6 and 7
101 sheets across 11 shelves, and each of them is a page that is itself the sheet — open it, press print, and that is the whole of it.
Math
Worksheets from adding to twenty through to word problems, each with its answer key on the page behind it.
Handwriting
Letters traced, then copied, then written on an empty line — the same three steps at every size of ruling.
Cursive
The same progression again in a joined hand, including the page printing never needed — the joins themselves.
Penmanship
For the child who can form every letter and still hands in a page nobody can read: strokes, sizes, spaces, judging your own work, and the alphabet against the clock.
Bible
Scripture copywork, handwriting and memory work: the sheets above with a passage on them, in a public-domain translation.
Spelling
This week’s list in five shapes, the first sight words, and the pages on how words are put together.
Grammar
How a sentence is put together — the parts of speech, its two halves, what it is for, and the marks that finish it.
Phonics
Built from the sounds you have ticked, so a sheet never contains a spelling that has not been taught yet.
Charts and grids
References with nothing on them to answer: hundred charts, number lines, coordinate grids and place-value columns.
Forms and planners
The paperwork a week needs — logs, reports, calendars, charts, certificates and cards. Supposed to be empty.
Paper
Ruled paper by the sheet: notebook rules, the five handwriting sizes, and squares, dots and triangles.
What first grade means on this page
The ages come off each sheet, not off a standard we do not have.
Adding with regrouping is the sheet this year turns on. Carrying is the first piece of arithmetic that is a procedure rather than a fact, and it is where a child who has been counting on their fingers quietly runs out of fingers — so the sheet is set in columns, with the room above the sum where the carried digit goes, rather than written along a line where there is nowhere to put it.
Decodable sentences are the reading equivalent, and they come off the same ticked list of sounds as the rest of the phonics shelf: every word in every sentence is built from spellings that have already been taught. A first sentence read without a single guess in it is worth more than a page of pictures, and it is only possible if the page knows what has been covered.
No sheet on this site is assigned to a school year. Each one states the ages it was drawn for on its own page — Ages 8–11 on the division worksheet, because that is who those numbers suit — and this page collects the sheets whose stated ages reach 6 or 7, which is where most children are in first grade. So the same sheet appears on two or three of these pages, and that is the honest answer rather than a lapse: a sheet for nine to twelve belongs to the fourth-grader and the seventh-grader both.
If your child is working a year either side of their class, the neighboring page is the one to use and nothing here will disagree with you about it. Curriculum and grade levels differ by state, by country and by family, and a worksheet site that told you otherwise would be inventing a standard to sound authoritative.
The rest of the Print Shop
Ten shelves and ten school years, over the same sheets. A shelf is what a sheet is; a year is who it was drawn for, which every sheet states on its own page.

Your child’s name is not in the file
Where a sheet has a Name: line at all, it is printed blank and filled in with a pencil. Nothing is uploaded to make one, no account is needed to print one, and a sheet you send to another family carries the settings you chose and nothing else — see what we don’t collect.
