1st Grade Reading & Phonics Full year Lessons & parent guide complete set

Build a strong reading foundation with the Newberry Academy First Grade Phonics Workbook, a complete 36-week program designed to help young learners become confident, capable readers.

This self-contained workbook includes 180 carefully sequenced lessons, with five lessons for each week of the school year. Students begin with foundational phonics skills and gradually progress to more advanced word patterns, longer words, reading fluency, and comprehension.

Each lesson teaches the skill before asking the student to practice it. Activities are varied and age-appropriate, helping children stay engaged while building mastery through consistent review and application.

Students will practice:

Beginning and ending sounds
Short and long vowels
Consonant blends and digraphs
Silent-e words
Vowel teams
R-controlled vowels
Diphthongs and special vowel sounds
Closed, open, and silent-e syllables
Two-syllable and longer words
Sentence reading
Fiction and nonfiction comprehension
Reading accuracy, expression, and fluency

The workbook includes word-building activities, picture-supported practice, sentence reading, short passages, word sorts, matching activities, comprehension questions, review lessons, and end-of-unit checkpoints.

Designed for homeschool families, this curriculum is completely self-contained and does not require internet access, videos, QR codes, or additional online resources.

The Newberry Academy First Grade Phonics Workbook provides clear instruction, meaningful practice, and a steady progression that prepares students for successful second-grade reading.
